unsu - un-sudo your last command
When switching between unprivileged and priviliged users in linux I find myself either forgetting to use sudo or using sudo when I'm not able to.
It's quick and easy to to fix an un-sudo'd command:
sudo !!
But I've not found (or not googled) a way to do the reverse, remove sudo from the last command.
- Download unsu.py as
unsu - Move it to somewhere in
echo $PATH chmod +x unsu # make it executable- Restart your shell session
- And then:
sudo supervisorctl status
[sudo] password for unprivuser:
unsu !!
my-app RUNNING pid 3300370, uptime 2 days, 21:20:07
If you use this, I hope it brings you some relief to a semi-regular issue like mine! Also I plan to repeat this exercise in other languages, python's just easiest!
