Hi,

I want to, from a Korn shell script, invoke another script/process as another UNIX user. Due to security constraints the UNIX SAs have restricted the use of the command "su" so that's out. I tried using rsh -l name but gotten no where w/ it.

What other options do I have? If other options how to code it in a script?

Thx

sudo is the way to go, but your SAs would have to agree to that (and set it up) too.

Annihilannic.
