Shell script for multiple users or multiple su commands.

Gulam Mohiuddin — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 11:20:59 GMT

I would like to make one shell script which will be run by root and su to four different users to execute the following commands in sequence on the same server.

For user1 user2 user3 user 4 run following commands after setting up environment variables:

psadmin -p kill -d $PS_DOMAIN
psadmin -c shutdown -d $PS_DOMAIN
stopWebLogic.sh PIA
stopWebLogic.sh

Thanks,

Gulam.

Something like this:

for USER in user1 user2 user3 user4 do
su - $USER -c myscript
done

Where myscript contains the commands you wish to have run.

Sorry, make that:

for USER in user1 user2 user3 user4
do
su - $USER -c myscript
done

Logically the same thing, but maybe easier to follow.

for USER in user1 user2 user3 user4 ; do
su - $USER -c 'psadmin -p kill -d $PS_DOMAIN ; psadmin -c shutdown -d $PS_DOMAIN ; stopWebLogic.sh PIA ; StopWebLogic.sh'
done

Yet another way of doing the same thing:

# echo "user1\nuser2\nuser3\nuser4" | xargs -n1 -i su - {} -c Script.sh

...where Script.sh contains

psadmin -p kill -d $PS_DOMAIN
psadmin -c shutdown -d $PS_DOMAIN
stopWebLogic.sh PIA
stopWebLogic.sh
