This second URL showed
me how to edit the sudoers file and add this:
amanda ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/opt/trinity/bin/dcop
But it still fails:
root@coyote:~$ su amanda -c "/opt/trinity/bin/dcop --user gene --all-sessions kmail
KMailIface resumeBackgroundJobs"
WARNING: ICE authority file /home/gene/.ICEauthorityis not readable by you!
Please check permissions or set the $ICEAUTHORITY variable manually before
calling dcop.

If I take out the --all-sessions, I get this:
root@coyote:~$ su amanda -c "/opt/trinity/bin/dcop --user gene kmail KMailIface
resumeBackgroundJobs"
ERROR: Multiple available TDE sessions!
Please specify the correct session to use with --session or use the
--all-sessions option to broadcast to all sessions.
Which sounds like it might work if --session was named, but whats a "session"?
Thanks.
The two links* above Gene should do everything you
need. There should
be no need to dig into ICEauthority or anything else. Yes you'll need
to edit the sudoers file, but there's plenty of google fu on how to do
that.
Best,
Michael
*In the second link see section: "Run only specific sudo commands
without password"
