Greetings,

Im trying to get a script, which runs as the user who owns it, to run either as a different user, or to run as root. Yes I am aware of the security implications of this, but I need to script to write to a file from the web, thats owned differently.

How do I do that?

You can use the su -c Unix command (runs as user_name).

#!/bin/sh
# This script Will run 2 commands as another user
su -c user_name "(echo 'Command1';echo 'Done')"
