Hey DGPickett,

A question to clarify. I need to execute 4 different commands with 4 different users so it means that I have to switch the users 4 times. As per my understanding, I can use the following commands.

set LOG='ABC/ABC/ABC.LOG

1 sudo/su - user -c "command" >> $LOG
exit

2. sudo/su - user2 -c "comand" >> $LOG
exit

3. sudo/su - user3 -c "command" >> $LOG
exit

4. sudo/su - user4 -c "command" >> $LOG

By doing that, each user have it's own environment veriables so do I need to setup the envs or it will catch it own its own.

One of the commands, I want to add grep command to one of the processes. If it finds, kill it. how can I get a specific running process and kill it if finds?

Your help is really appreciated
Thanks,
Afi
