Give a user permissions to start, stop or restart shiny-server
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I need to give permission to a user to start, stop and restart Rstudio's shiny-server.
Right now, I have been managing the service upon this user's request with sudo service restart shiny-server, but now I want the user to manage this.
My first approach to this problem is to edit the /etc/sudoers. But I realized I have no idea what the full path of shiny-server is, so I have no idea what to put in the /etc/sudoers file. I would have hoped to find it in /etc/init.d/, but that isn't the case.
Does anyone have experience with this or a work-around?
I'm currently running Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS (Xenial Xerus) on this server.
The version of R is 3.4.1 and it was compiled from source.
permissions sudo r rstudio

You probably don't need the filepath for shiny-server.
You should be able to give the user the required permissions by adding the following line to your /etc/sudoers file:
username ALL=(root) service restart shiny-server, service stop shiny-server, service start shiny-server
After adding that line, the other user should be able to run sudo service restart shiny-server (as well as start/stop. If you're intent on finding the init script locations, the normal locations to look are:
/etc/init
/etc/init.d
/etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf
/etc/default
