Shell script to execute commands in individual users' home directories
Hi, I am trying to write a shell script which execute certain commands within certain folders in each user's home directories I started off with a bash script - Code:
#!/bin/csh -f su -l cvsusr1 cvs -d /home/cvsadm/repository status But the shell script finishes immediately after executing the switch command su. Please suggest how I can proceed. Regards, Rupa Last edited by pludi; 4 Weeks Ago at 08:42 AM.. Reason: code tags, please... |

You know that this isn't a bash shell script, but a C shell script? Aside from that, as soon as you run Code:
su -l <user> the users shell is executed as a login shell, which means it's in interactive mode, and won't exit until told to do so. If you want to run a command as another user, use Code:
su -l <user> -c <command> This will start a login shell for the specified user, and pass the command to it to run. The shell will then exit afterwards. If you need to run more than one command, put them into a separate script and run that via su. |
