Safe use of sudo

Definition and example

Safe use of sudo is the focus of this lesson. sudo runs an approved command with elevated privileges under policy. Read commands before running them and avoid copying unknown privileged commands. Practice: Create a short note for ‘Safe use of sudo’ in a local training document. Apply the idea to a fictional or deliberately provided sample, record what you checked, and note one limitation. Do not use real credentials, private records or systems without written permission. The task asks you to apply that idea in a small example: What is a safe practice before running a command with sudo. Before you run the code, predict what should happen. Then Inspect the result produced by the exercise and compare it with your prediction. If the result differs, change one relevant line and run it again. Testing one change at a time makes the cause of a result easier to understand.
