Sudo: Which commands does JDisc Discovery execute as root?

Category: Discovery

Some commands require root privileges on Linux systems. JDisc Discovery can obtain these privileges either through the su command or through sudo, depending on the configured authentication method.

When sudo is used, the sudo configuration must allow the required commands to run with root privileges. For this configuration, the commands executed by JDisc Discovery as root must be known.

JDisc Discovery executes the following commands with root privileges:
