Re: Execute svrmgrl with the right user (Userid bit ?)

AFAIK setuserid bit's don't work with shell scripts - it would make it insecure. Since the script runs as a root user you could: su <userid> -c "yourscript"
(make sure the environment is set in yourscript). or
su - <userid> -c "yourscript"

hope it helps.
