Irix - startup script problem

Hi there. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I guess a moderator can shift it if needed.

I've set up a shell script to be run as a user that fires at startup on Solaris and RedHat by adding

su - <user> -c <Path_to_Script>/<script>.sh

And it works great. Problem is I can't get this to run on Irix.

From the investigations I've done it seems that the -c option is being run without the <user>'s environment variables being loaded, even though I'm specifying su - <user>

If I manually type it and split it into
su - <user>
./<Path_to_Script>/<script>.sh

The script works.

So, anyone have any idea why this happens and what a workaround might be?

Thanks,
- Rich.

NAME
mklnim - make Linux Netinstall Image SYNOPSIS
mklnim outputfile [path-to-cdrom] DESCRIPTION
mklnim is a shell script that takes a SuSE, TurboLinux or a RedHat CDROM, or equivalent disk directory, and creates a network bootable image (NBI) that can be used with Etherboot (http://etherboot.sourceforge.net/) or Netboot (http://www.han.de/~gero/netboot.html). This NBI, when booted via the network, will make the target computer behave just as if a CDROM boot (TurboLinux), or a floppy boot (RedHat and SuSE) had been selected. A conventional install can be done from this point onwards. There are several occasions when this technique is useful: 1. It can be used to quickly boot a target computer when the floppy loading is very slow. 2. In the case of TurboLinux, it loads the CDROM initial ramdisk which does not require any further floppy loading. In the case of RedHat, it only loads the floppy initial ramdisk which does not contain the material in the supplementary floppy, and may require more floppy insertion. 3. It can start the install from a floppy of any size, not just 1.4 MB, or even from a floppyless machine, if one has a boot ROM (providing no further floppy access is required). 4. It could be used as part of an automatic installation process. Naturally, all this assumes that the infrastructure for diskless booting (bootp and tftp servers) has been set up. BUGS
If supplementary floppies are required, this script doesn't include that material in the network boot image. Please feel welcome to fix this problem. SEE ALSO
