Since the script is running as root it has permission to su to any other user it wants. We have many cron jobs we run as root (so don't need to sudo to them) that do the switch user when they get to sections that don't need to be run as root.<br>

Again you have to be sure the script is only editable by root and is in a directory that can only be changed by root.<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1!</div><div><br></div><div>Leam </div></div>
