in thread Running a perl script with root, changing to another user and then back to root?

Could you please elaborate on that? ssh in the sub script, or ssh in the main script? Right now the main script *runs* as root since the start but after switching is stuck or either using it's privileges to check stuff.. but I need to use another user's priv. to check (that's the entire job :) )

    Hello again morthed,

    You can ssh from the main script as root then in apply the commands that you want, close the session and continue as normal user.

    Check also the updated proposed solution that I just added.

    Hope this helps, BR.
