Hi ,

I want to run some script from other user and print the output .
As for example . I am in host pdcdev0001 and with user gen001
and running some script . from this script i want to go to some other
user like neg002 and run some script and print the output from the
original user gen001 .

Usually we are switching from one user to other by become .

Please help me out in this regard .
It's a PRODUCTION issue so very very urgent .

Hi ,

gen001 is not a super user . I tried to run this the error is coming like

Password:
su: Sorry


Could you please write in detail .

Thanks

As you are not root you need the password of the account to which you want to su, or the account must not have password.

Hi Aigles ,

The problem is that i shouldn't show the password in the script as it is very critical because i am in production server . Any other alternative
to hide password ?

Thanks

You could give gen001 sudo permission to run
As he can run this one command as root when typing
he is not prompted for a password. There's a ton of examples on how to achieve it in /etc/sudoers and man sudo/man sudoers I think.

Again it is asking for password . My problem is that i don't want to show password in my script . Please help me out . I am using SUN SOLARIS Unix .

Can you post your line in /etc/sudoers for the command?

In /etc there is no file called sudoers so where should i post .
Please reply describing what to do and where to post

Hmm are you sure you have 'sudo' installed? I am not sure where the config file is located on Solaris, it is /etc/sudoers for many flavors of Linux.

try creating a file ".netrc" in your home directory with permission 400.

format of .netrc file woule be
============================================
machine hostname_here login loginid_here password password_here
=============================================

add asmany as hostname entries in this file
field 1,3,5 are reserve word
field 2,4,6 are variables

yes, i made .netrc in the home directory where the original script resides now how to run the shell script from another user where
i wants to run the script and take the output ????
