How to call a different userid from inside a script

[desibhai]

I want to call another user login from inside a script
and then want to execute few commands. After execution,
I want to return back into my script.

How can it be done.

Hi:

Use the su command:

su - user -c "cd /tmp; pwd; read x"

If you're not root, you're prompted for the user's password. man su for more info.
