series of programes which are to be executed in other user's permissions
I have series of programe which are to be executed in other user's permissions.

ex :
1. Two programes : programe1 and programe2.
2. Logged into the server as a user say "sri"
3. If I execute the programes system shows with "sri" owner.

sri ohter programe1
sri other programe2

4. I have sudo permissions, if I run with sudo system shows "root"

5. But i want to take the permission as "kanth" (which is other user)

can i user any command like "su" with parameter

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This should be possible. See man su


Code:
su -l kanth -c "programe1"

Another way: You may set the SUID bit to those programs, owned by the user you want them to be run as. So, if you have programe1 and programe2, and want them to be run as user1 then:

Code:
user2> ls -l programe1 programe2
-rwsr-xr-x   1 user1     user1            0 Jan 17 11:26 programe1
-rwsr-xr-x   1 user1     user1            0 Jan 17 11:26 programe2
user2> ./programe1

I do not kike to use SUID unless it's necessary, but it's a possible and easy solution.

Dear vino,

su -1 "kanth" -c "programe1" this options is not working as system gives an error "usage: su [ - ] user [sh options]"

Dear griel

SUID can not be set becasue all are application related programe.

the l in -l is the alphabet l (el) and not the digit 1
