Expect might work for that. Expect can even auto-generate the script for you (doesn't always work for it)
#]autoexpect -c (-c forces it to use conservatice mode, because some programs will ignore keystrokes if they come too fast...like passwd) #]su - Password: ******** Password: ******** #]/some/place/urprogram.sh (execute your program) #]exit (go back to original username) #]exit (exit autoexpect) Its not the safest way but it works. http://expect.nist.gov/ Or rpmfind.net You could write the whole script in expect if you want too.
