Hi, 

my client is using sesudo as privileged command instead of sudo. How can I use sesudo as privileged command within Servicenow?

As of London, Discovery supports sudo, pbrun and pfexec commands. If your system cannot use sudo commands, you must configure the hosts in your network to use one of the other privileged commands.

Note the section "Add a new privileged command for use by the MID Server" which should allow specifying other commands.

I don't know the details of sesudo or whether anybody has tried it, but it's certainly worth a shot.

Best of luck,
