User1 runs User2 scripts and updates logs?Is it possible?
Guys
I have an odd request in hand.
User1 Group1,Group2
User2 Group2,Group1
As can be seen ,both users belong to each other's group as well.
Now User1 is holding some scripts(in a folder) on which perms are: 750 ..meaning User2 can read and execute but the execution is never successful bcoz script also writes/updates messages in log files and for that the 'w' is not granted on the folder for group members.
There are log files in more than 1 folder and the perms set are recursive:750.
Bottomline: User2 unable to complete the execution bcoz 'w' is not granted.
How can i achive it by keeping everything as is..? Can it be done via script? If yes,how? Has anyone come across such an issue?
Looking for advice
Regards
Abhijeet

uudemon.cleanu
uudemon(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual uudemon(4)
NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons
SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
/usr/lib/uucp
DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove
the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.
This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or
root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This
script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.
FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file.

Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)
