Execute internal script as different user
I have a script that I must run as user X and need to send the results to a different server as user Y (sftp). User Y has been set up to not require password authentication between the 2 servers. I would prefer to keep these in a single script, as our operations might have to run it from time to time and I would prefer to keep things simple.
Another thought was to have 2 scripts that poled a status file to see "whose" turn it was to execute. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yes, sftp needs to be run as user Y. The main script is a start/stop process for a web based application (separate app and web servers). All the processes must be started or stopped as user X, but user Y must be used to send results to the other server detailing basically whose turn it is to run.
[app server script] start environment (x) start rmi (x) sftp web (y) wait till app continue start scheduler (x) [web server script] wait till web start web (x) sftp app continue (y)

since everything else is run under user x, maybe you can just enclose the sftp command for user y in an su -c command

Try this
script starts as X script then does SSH to other system as Y using private key as follows... Code:
echo this is running as X here ssh -i identity Y@other <<EOF echo this script part will run as Y on the other machine EOF echo this is back running as X here
