How can I run a process under particular ID?
I have a script that needs to run under ID say "xyz". the way I do normally is to "su" to the id, enter the password of "xyz" and run the process. However, is there any way run the process under "xyz" without "su" to the ID. A person with root access would be able to run any process under any ID as he/she need not supply the password.
Is there way in unix for regular users to allow to runprocesses under particular IDs instead of having a overall root access? Please let me know.

Sudo might be the tool for you. With sudo you can switch userID's with out supplying password with in a group of users.

Thanks for the info.
Can you give me some more info?
Where can I get sudo? is it free or is to be purchased? We have AIX and does it work on AIX?
Please let me know

http://www.sudo.ws/

Free open-source. The supported platform list includes many versions of AIX, but the mirrors don't have binaries. Which means you'll have to build it from source, but that's fairly normal for non-proprietary software.

Sudo for AIX is included in the AIX toolbox or Linux Applications, if you have that on CD. It can also be downloaded from the IBM website: http://www.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/
