Run the script from another user
Hello Experts
I want to run script from another user in unix . Also the script
has been calling from SQL. HOST command helps to call the unix file
from sql . But my problem is the unix script has to be run by
another user.
I tried tht following

$ sudo su - user2 -c who ==> it is asking password , but I couldn't
able to connect though I typed correct pwd.
Even I tried
$ /usr/local/bin/sudo -u user2 who --> it is asking password. I
couldn't able to connect though I typed correct password.

Please suggest me how to run the script from another user
without asking the password ( As I am planning for automation )

Thanks
Krishna
