hello guys.
i'm trying to execute a batch on another linux user, i used the command su <username> -c "<command to run>"
but nothing happens when i run this command (no errors no warnings), note that the file has 777 permissions, and when i run this command from current user it succeeds.
the command i'm trying to run is:
------------------------------------------
linux> su myuser -c "/envfile /batch.exe"
------------------------------------------
but when I write:
----------------------------------------
linux> ./batch.exe
----------------------------------------
everything goes fine.
note: (envfile) is a file I created is similar to (.profile) and it exports environment variables to the other user.

>linux> su myuser -c "/envfile /batch.exe"
I suspect a couple of "details" are not as they should be in the above line.
1) as specified the files would have to reside in the "root" (/) folder.
2) multiple commands on the same line are separated by a semicolon ";".
$ su myuser -c "./envfile;./batch.exe" might worked better; then again might not
HTH & YMMV
