Is it possible that you are at the (invisible) interactive prompt? Try entering a command. Try exiting the interactive process. Does it continue the script, then?

I already try it but it is stuck in there, I read in another post in this forum

"When you pbrun into a different account a new login script is executed because of which it waits for at the command prompt. The commands in your main script will be executed after you manually exit from this login script."

I am trying to find a solution for this, seems that the thread for pbrun gets stuck in that task until you exit the prompt manually.

Wouldn't the -c option to su work?

I don't get it how the su can work here, instead of pbrun /bin/su - content, do su -c - content? I am not familiar with the su for this case

man su is your friend.

Not sure if this would work with pbrun:
Code:
/bin/su -c $(pwd)/TMP.sh - content

with
Code:
cat TMP.sh
c h 1
hpsvn up file.html

Didn't work with pbrun, and I have my hands tight, I don't have privileges to use man su cause company policies....any other work around? :/

Did you consider the man pages at the top of this page (unix.com)?
