SUMMARY: possible to avoid password prompt when running script

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Thanks to all who responded. The overwhelming concensus was to use logic to
skip the su:

if [ $some_user != $USER ]; then
        su $some_user
fi

This will, of course, do the trick.

Thanks all!
