Hello All,  
I would like ask about privileges escalation by sudo.

I need run command on **RemoteMachine**. **User: someone** and **Command: /usr/local/blah.sh** for example

suoders file:

`someone RemoteMachine =(root) **/usr/local/blah.sh** `

Unfortunately I can’t give permission to switch root, and **I can’t give** NOPASSWD phrase in sudoers.

I tried by:

`

shell: /usr/local/blah.sh  
**become: yes**  
**become\_method: sudo**

`

But it is failed because ansible trying switch to user before run command.

I tried also:

`shell: " **sudo** /usr/local/blah.sh"`

But this one hanging ansible, because he is waiting for sudo password.

Is there any possibility to just run command with sudo and provide password automatically ?

I will be very happy for help.

Than you Ansible community,  
Regards Dawid D.

This, the shell module, actually run "sudo /some/python/script" and that script run plain "/usr/local/blah.sh"

sudo do support -S for reading the password from stdin.
