As we know, if we want to execute something and act as administrator in linux (sudo) we need to input password.
But for some of developers (including me), it is annoying, so to handle that password, we can bypass the password.
In this case, I'd like to restart nginx without me having to enter the password, these are the steps :
<ol>
<li>Edit /etc/sudoers</li>
</ol>
<pre><code class="lang-php">sudo nano /etc/sudoers
</code></pre>
<ol>
<li>Add customization</li>
</ol>
add this line at the bottom of the file
<pre><code class="lang-php">username ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service nginx restart
</code></pre>
<ol>
<li>restart your nginx</li>
</ol>
And finally testing time, execute:
<pre><code class="lang-php">sudo service nginx restart
</code></pre>
