su command in batch mode

Hi,
how do we change user in a shell script- batch mode.

su invokes the login system, which by nature is interactive. You may find sudo more useful for specifying what users are allowed to run what programs as what users under what circumstances. A simpler, but potentially dangerous solution could be setuid bits.

don't know if its want you want, but you can check out the -c switch, if your su version has it.
