Switching to user to stop db
Hi all, I have a script that I will need to run occasionally to stop my db2 instance-

stopDB2.sh

Code:
su -l -c "db2 force application all"
su -l -c "db2 terminate"
su -l -c "db2 stop"
su -l -c "db2licd -end"

This works when I su to the instance owner (archive), and run each line. I need to do this as a script so that root can run it, and I can possibly call it from other scripts.

Code:
jeff@rhel73 [01:22:42] ~/startup/ ->./stopDB2.sh
Password:
su: Authentication failure

What is the best way to do this?
