Hi I'm hoping someone can point me at the right manual/commands
I'm trying to work out how to copy a directory (and contents) owned by one user (user1) into a directory owned by another (user2). user1 is user admin and group wheel BTW. The user the files are being copied to is more restriced. The files being copied are world readable. I can do this successfully on the command line like so: su user2 -c 'cp -R /user1path/conf /user2path/conf' but of course I need to enter the pw for user2 (which is available in my perl script as it just set it up) Does anyone have any pointers on how to read/write to the shell to do this. Ideally I'd like to su user2 and then issue a series of cp commands etc. This is being run from a cgi script that's running under suexec so I have to be careful with permissions. I can't just run the whole thing under root (and I don't need root privs for this) Thanks so much Angie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
