Scripting Switch User 1

[olli2003]

Hi Gys!
It would be nice to get some suggestions for my problem here. I'd like to execute a command by another user than Root. This should be done by a script. The process within the script must be like this:

ROOT#su - <USER>
USER#ls -ltr /opt/freeware/glitter/*.log > /tmp/glitter.txt

Please notice that I have a different user environment. Perhaps I should directly do in the crontab? I've tried to do with this user, but it doesn't work

Thanks for all help!
Kind Regards, Oliver
