CPU & Memory User1 runs User2 scripts and updates logs?Is it possible?
Guys
I have an odd request in hand.

User1 Group1,Group2
User2 Group2,Group1

As can be seen ,both users belong to each other's group as well.

Now User1 is holding some scripts(in a folder) on which perms are: 750 ..meaning User2 can read and execute but the execution is never successful bcoz script also writes/updates messages in log files and for that the 'w' is not granted on the folder for group members.

There are log files in more than 1 folder and the perms set are recursive:750.

Bottomline: User2 unable to complete the execution bcoz 'w' is not granted.

How can i achive it by keeping everything as is..? Can it be done via script? If yes,how? Has anyone come across such an issue?

Looking for advice
Regards
Abhijeet
