I've written a script in sh (which is bash) which is executable

Problem is that script needs to generate files with the same umask
of $USER which is different from the system umask, and can change
from user to user.
Situation, when that is run as tested (login shell), all is fine.
a umask of 007 is applied to files created. But when it's deposited
in the $PATH directory and run as "doit.sh" it uses the system umask.
The script is launched how?
..as root, I gather.
Does the script need to be run as $USER (let's say 'geo')
If both above are so, and if this works as root
su - geo -c doit.sh
then, you can maybe to create a wrapper containing that line?
Or equivalently just put this into doit.sh
[ 0 -eq $UID ] && exec su - geo -c $0
Seems like there ought to be an easier way, though
