Allow scripts to be run as sudo

[andysteady]

This is a feature request to allow scripts to be executed as sudo making use of the existing secondary sudo password authentication facility.

See: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1#inbox/13db21c4d38d655a which includes text from Greg:

"We could add an "invocation" parameter for Script steps, which can let you define how the script would be invoked on the remote node. At that point, the sudo password feature could be enabled for scripts by setting it to the sudo invocation you want, and configuring your node properly for sudo authentication.

This could be added for script files/URLs as well."

+1 for this. I would like to see it work for scripts, specifically scripts pulled from URLs.

from issue #121 it would be nice to have support for this in the dispatch tool as well

I'm working on the GUI for this feature. Here is a screenshot showing the "script interpreter" field for the Script step type. The "Quote arguments to interpreter" checkbox, allows the script filepath and arguments to be quoted as a single argument for the interpreter if necessary.

+1, this would be really useful.

Here is a hack that may or may not apply to your use-case until the feature is implemented. It helped me not having to change my scripts too much.

Is sudo support available for inline scripts?

Count me in for a round too.
This and the fix for #347 and 352 make me very happy
Plan to adopt latest rundeck release straight after our upcoming release.

p.s. Zynstra is out of stealth mode, search for us on google :-)
