This is shell quoting bug on your part, unrelated to coreutils; you may want to ask on a more appropriate forum. You need to quote your here-doc or provide escaping for the $ if you want the $ to be a literal part of the script fed through su, rather than being interpreted by the shell prior to the spawning of su. In other words, one of these two approaches: # su - oracle<<\EOF LANG=C i=bin /$i/hostname EOF # su - oracle<<EOF LANG=C i=bin /\$i/hostname EOF - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
