Unless your SysAdmin gives you access to these other user accounts via sudo or some other means I cannot see how you can do this manually, let alone automatically.

We also don't know whether these "script" are shell-scripts, perl-scripts, SQL-scripts or written in some other language.

And we don't know why they have to survive a reboot, or what they do, or can do, to save their status at the time of a reboot.

Can you get your users to, say, rewrite the scripts to save their status to, say, a JSON file on a given signal? Then write a shell-script to be run on shutdown to signal these scripts and save their JSON files somewhere? A second shell-script could then run as root by the system on start-up to start the users scripts with a "continue with the settings from this JSON file" switch.

Even that may not be possible.

SYNOPSIS

       sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]

       sieveshell --help

DESCRIPTION

       sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server.	It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
