I have a script, which pbruns into another account.
I want to pbrun run into that account, and continue running all the commands in my script.
But instead, it pbruns into the account, and just gives me a shell prompt.. and stops there.
Only once i exit that shell prompt.. does it continue running the rest of the sciprt.

I have tried to run a command with the pbrun command (e.g. pbrun su - useraccount2 whoami).

But before it can execute the whoami command, it just gets stuck at the shell prompt.

I have tried to run the command in the background (with the &), I have tried to pass it with -b, -c, but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!

Hello ishanc,

I have to resolve a very similar (or exact) problem.

Can you let me know, how did you resolve this problem if you did resolve?

any workaround for this problem?

appreciate your help.

Thanks

When you pbrun into a different account a new login script is executed because of which it waits for at the command prompt. The commands in your main script will be executed after you manually exit from this login script.
Here is how I solved the problem for myself:
1. In my main script I created a zero-length temporary file at a predetermined location (I tried exporting variables to the new login script but that does not work)
2. In the .profile of the new user account I check if this file exists and execute the required commands and delete the temporary file

thus if you pbrun to that user from the command prompt this file won't be there so your commands won't be executed.

you could have a problem though if multiple users are pbrunning into that account at the same time as you are executing your script.

Hope this helps.

Didn't notice the date of the thread I guess.....

I did notice the date. I recently faced this problem and searched the net for a solution without any success. I thought I should post my solution to help somebody in the future
