Execute a command after a program was launched

Hi Experts,

I am creating a script to monitor a certain applications running in my Unix system.

My script order goes this way:

Code:
df -h /of/a/filesystem

tail -5 /path/to/an/application/availability

su -c "jsmon pf=(profile of my application) `echo "p"`" usradm

#EOF

I am encountering problem on my 3rd line. Basically what I wanted is when
my script run, it switches to user "usradm" execute command "jsmon pf=(profile of my application" and then echo the letter "p".

My script runs the switch to usradm command and executes program "jsmon pf=(profile of my application)" however won't execute "p" command after and getting error like:

Code:
 JStart Monitor Program
                                                                               jsmon=>appparam(2): fopenU("/home/usradm","r"): No such file or directory
jsmon=>No Profile used.
jsmon=>appparam: SYSTEMNAME neither in Profile nor in Commandline

  JsfOpenShm failed: object not found
  Cannot access shared memory.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
atf-sh(3) BSD
