[AIX] executing script

Hello!

I need to run a script from the root user as the other user. I know that I can issue the following command:
su - user_name -c "/path_to_script/script_name.sh"

But there is a small problem with the above command. I must export a environment variable before I run the script. In the other case, the script won't work properly. How can I export the variable and execute the script using su - user_name -c ....? Maybe any other ideas? I must add, that there is no possibility to modify script_name.sh file.

Thanks for help!
Pit

NAME
build-lives-rfx-plugin - builds rendered effects for LiVES SYNOPSIS
build-lives-rfx-plugin script_name [plugin_dir] -get section file DESCRIPTION
This perl script is used by LiVES to compile an RFX (rendered effect) plugin for LiVES. It is generally called from build-lives-rfx-plugin- multi for a script which has a language code representing LiVES-perl. The script_name must be the full (absolute) path to the plugin script, and plugin_dir can be used to specify the output directory where the compiled plugin should be generated. If plugin_dir is not defined then /tmp is assumed. The second variant with -get is used to print out a script section from a plugin script to stdout. It is generally only used internally by LiVES. Return values The script returns the following values 0 - success 1 - the value of a trigger was greater than the number of parameters 2 - a value could not be read from the script file 3 - the language code of the plugin script was not equivalent to LiVES-perl 4 - the API version level of the plugin script was invalid 5 - the <define> section was missing from the plugin script SEE ALSO
