Hello, I am trying to make a script that runs the following commands. This is difficult for me because I dont know how to switch users. Currently these are the commands that I am trying to script. # fetchmail –d 1000 & (this needs to be run as username mik) # su -l root # /home/mik/myfilter & (this needs to be run as root) I know I have to make the files executable and .sh extension then put them in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to get them to run at startup but I am not sure how to make these commands run as different users. Is there a way to have something like this? (i know runas isnt a real shell command) #/bin/sh runas "mik" fetchmail & runas "root" /home/mik/myfilter & Any help would be very much helpful. mik _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
