I wonder, since exec() run as the user "nobody" how can I get it to do things that I in shell only can do as myself. Shellscript? (I used UNIX tcsh-script 5 years ago... not since then). /Marcus AdamGundry 06-09-2003, 02:26 PM Possibly using su? There could be a security problem there though - maybe if you created a shell script which contained the su command. Adam mf22cs 06-09-2003, 04:16 PM How do I use "su"? If I execute it in the shell I get a question for password. That is good, but how do I answer it from a script? /Marcus AdamGundry 06-10-2003, 10:05 AM I would presume there is a command-line option to pass the password on the command. Try a Google search. Adam mf22cs 06-10-2003, 11:34 AM Well, the "man" (man su) or the search for su(1) gives the answere that this is the proper synopsis. su [options] [username] [arguments] Anyone who knows if I can pass the password along in the arguments? I tried "-c"-option, but that just passed it on to the first prompt appearing after the password prompt. /Marcus webdeveloper.com
