Hello,

I am running a command as part of my script on a Unix box for which I need
to su to a different username.

This su requires a password as well.

I could not find any option of passing the password in su.

Tried the shell script solution of here docs :

su <<TillEnd
admin
test
TillEnd

But even this does not work.

Could anyone please guide me how to su in a script (shell / perl) ?

I cannot have my username added to the /etc/sudoers to execute commands as
root...

Thanks in advance
