Executing a Bash Script Function with Sudo

“command not found” when sudo'ing function from ~/.zshrc
3 answers
I have a .sh script which contains a set of functions. I have made the script executable (chmod 777).
If I want to run a function as my current user I simply do:
. /path/to/script/functions.sh && fc_number1 "$item1" "$item2" &
This works fine. However I have another function, that needs to be run by a different user with different privileges.
I have tried:
sudo -unewuser . /path/to/script/functions.sh && fc_number2 "$item1" "$item2" "$item3"
sudo -unewuser -c "bash -c fc_number2 $item1 $item2 $item3"
Neither of which works. I simply get sudo: .: command not found or bash: export: fc_number2: not a function, or some other error.
Is there something else I need to do to make this work. Everything I read basically comes back to one of the two options I have tried above.

You could use a wrapper script that contains. /path/to/script/functions.sh && fc_number2 "$item1" "$item2" "$item3"and run it assudo -unewuser wrapper_script.sh. If necessary you could also create a wrapper script that takes command line arguments and passes them to the function call.

It is better to not give scripts a.shending. And if you give a mode of777then you give everyone on the system, permission to write/change the script.

the 777 was purely to try and get it working on my test environment. It just means there is one less thing that may be preventing it working. Once I have it working it would then refine it back down to the bare minimum privileges needed to make it work.

You could use a wrapper script that contains. /path/to/script/functions.sh && fc_number2 "$item1" "$item2" "$item3"and run it assudo -unewuser wrapper_script.sh. If necessary you could also create a wrapper script that takes command line arguments and passes them to the function call.
