su and password in a Korn shell script
Hi All,
In my shell script I want to use su - userid and provide password for this user, but I don't know the syntax to do this, can anyone tell me what it is? I have tried: su - userid/password and su - userid password but no luck... |

as far as I know you can not su in a script.
the only way to do this is to use expect to automate the su or the perl telnet module to telnet in as a different user within the script , or use sudo to run a script as another user. Hope this helps Ed |

If the script is running as root I believe you can use 'su -c username' to change the owner of the process. The problem with using su and entering the password before completing a script is that a new shell is spawned for the new user, and the commands in the script after the su will not run until that shell is exited.
