I do work in a LAMP system. When debugging I like to clear the Apache error file and save as null. To continue error logging I have to restart Apache. 1) Not a big deal, but is there an easier way? I restart Apache in a script file that requires a Sudo command. That requires a password. 2) Can I provide the password in the script file to avoid the prompt and save a little time? Thanks! -- Stephen

Yes, there is. You can move the files to a different name to indicate they are older log files then send a signal to Apache to tell it to start using new log files.

I think you're supposed to first "stop" apache, delete the logs, and then "start" apache. Anyways, to "sudo" without a password, do as root, cd /etc/sudoers.d echo "user ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> user chmod 440 user -- William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca> On Sun, Sep 15, 2019 at 12:01:28PM -0400, Stephen via talk wrote:

Look up the "NOPASSWD" tag in the sudoers(5) man page. You could set one or more users or groups to be able to run apachectl graceful (or any other command) without requiring a password.
