Comment on How to Run Shell Scripts with Sudo Command in Linux by Mrmeow

You didn't need to edit sudoers. In your first screenshot, you ran the command as: sudo NameOfScript.sh Then, in the second screenshot, you ran it as: sudo ./NameOfScript.sh If you had used ./ in the first screenshot, where you got the error, it would have worked. If you're not in the directory containing the script, you can also specify the full path: sudo /folder/of/script/NameOfScript.sh And if you already have the required sudo privileges, you can run the script without typing sudo: ./NameOfScript.sh Or, using the full path: /folder/of/script/NameOfScript.sh The main issue was simply that sudo NameOfScript.sh does not tell the shell to look in the current directory. sudo ./NameOfScript.sh does.
