SU issues

Hi,
I have automated a build process that does the following activities.
1. check out code from cvs to a specific directory
2. build the revision checked out with 'ANT'
3. integrate the compiled code with the QA/UAT or new environment
(/apps/QA or /apps/UAT or /apps/new directory)

I have separated this into two scripts. The first one does steps 1 and 2 and then calls number 3. The reason that they are separated is that based on permissions steps 1 and 2 can be done only by and individual id while step 3 has to be done by the build user account that owns the integrated environments.

Here is the problem. I made the process interactive using 'select' contructs to allow the user to select different options. After steps 1 and 2 are completed I am executing and 'su' to switch to the build id to integrate the compiled code. However there are options in the second script also. For some reason when I 'su' the shell goes into an infinite loop when I prompt the user for feedback in the second script. It doesn't wait for response. I this the behavior of 'SU'? Is there any way around this? Thank you.

Here's how I su over in the script:

Code:

su - $vBuildUser <<-EOF
eval "$unixBuild -s $vSystem -r $vRevision -e $vIntegratedEnvironment"
wait
EOF
exit
exit

rancid-cvs

rancid-cvs(1)						      General Commands Manual						     rancid-cvs(1)

NAME

       rancid-cvs - initialize CVS or Subversion and rancid group files and directories

SYNOPSIS

       rancid-cvs [-V] [group [group ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       rancid-cvs  creates the directories and router.db(5) for each rancid group and handles the revision control system (CVS or Subversion) set-
       up.  It must be run after installation and whenever a rancid group is added.

       rancid-cvs reads rancid.conf(5) to configure itself, then proceeds with the initialization.  First of the CVS or Subversion repository,	if
       necessary,  and	then for each of the rancid groups listed on the command-line or those in the variable LIST_OF_GROUPS from rancid.conf(5),
       if the argument is omitted.

       Running rancid-cvs for groups which already exist will not cause problems.  If the group's directory already exists, the  import  into  the
       revision control system will be skipped, and if it's router.db(5) already exists, it will not be altered.

       The command-line options are as follows:

       -V     Prints package name and version strings.

       The  best  method  for  adding  groups  is  add	the group name to LIST_OF_GROUPS in rancid.conf(5), then run rancid-cvs. Do not create the
       directories manually, allow rancid-cvs to do it.
