Yes, that's what I resolved to doing. It's the best that I can come up
with at the moment: running each individual script as the intended user.

Hi,
Here's my script:
#!/bin/sh
su -m -c "echo User: $(whoami)" user1
sleep1
user=$(whoami)
echo "User: $user"
I expect that when I run this as root, it changes to user1, executes
the
command specified and outputs to STDOUT "User: user1", and then executes the
second command
the configuration file located in /boot that was
installed by default.
