Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Call function as different user within the script Post 302942770 by MadeInGermany on Friday 1st of May 2015 08:35:08 AM

functions must be defined at the start of every new shell. This can be achievd in ksh by ENV variable pointing to an include file that contains the function.
The perhaps better alternative is
Code:
<function_name> ( ) {
su - <user> -c '
command1
command2
'
}

NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell SYNOPSIS
sh times ksh times DESCRIPTION
sh Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell. ksh Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell. On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways: 1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes. 2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments. 3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. 4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari- able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed. ATTRIBUTES
