OpenHAB sudo [Exec Binding]

There are situations where you want to use the Exec Binding to trigger something. Sometimes you need the sudo privilege to do this. I would rather try some group specification to reduce the user rights to a minimum, but here is how i got openHAB to be able to execute sudo. Try executing a command as openhab sudo -u openhab sudo -l We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of other…

Idea 1: So basically make a script that has the command and set this to visudo.

Idea 2: Ebable the user openhab to access the xserver. Not tested but found in German forum.

Only works till reboot.

xhost +si:localuser:openhab

Set this to the file .xsessionrc for permanent rights.

+si:localuser:openhab
