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
