Changing effective user

I would like to give execution rights for a script to one user. (that's the easy part...)
When that user is running the script, I would like the effective user ID to be that of the file-owner. Is this possible?

NAME
cmhaltserv - halt a service from the high availability package halt script SYNOPSIS
cmhaltserv [-v] service_name DESCRIPTION
cmhaltserv is used only in the high availability package halt script to halt a service. To stop a package service, the running package halt script must be running as superuser(UID=0), or as a user with access policy of FULL_ADMIN allowed in the cluster configuration file. See access policy in cmquerycl(1) or cmmakepkg(1). If any part of a package is marked down, the package halt script is executed as part of the recovery process. This command sends a SIGTERM signal to the PID and the corresponding process group of the monitored service. If this signal is caught by the running application, it is up to the application to ensure that the processes will be terminated. Options cmhaltserv supports the following options: -v Verbose output will be displayed. RETURN VALUE
cmhaltserv returns the following values: 0 Successful completion. 1 Command failed. EXAMPLES
To halt the service db1, do the following: # Halt the service db1 cmhaltserv db1 This line should only be executed within a package halt script. AUTHOR
cmhaltserv was developed by HP. SEE ALSO
