Re: nested 'su' via script - help
Once you su, it wants to read from stdin for more commands. I would suggest you do what smatador suggests with -c.
You could try a here document and not nest:
su - manager < ls -l && touch manager.txt
EOF
su - clerk < touch clerk.txt
EOF
You could try a here document and not nest:
su - manager <
EOF
su - clerk <
