how to copy the data

[Shibin_2]

cp -r ~rajesh/* ~suresh/

[rajesh73]

it is possible to copy the data in normal account (i.e -rajesh account)

[Shibin_2 · Accepted solution]

If you have write permission to suresh's home directory, you can copy using the above command.

Otherwise, you may ask suresh to copy from your home directory. Or else, use root access to do it.

if you have any document pls share

[Shibin_2]

Service start and stops are depends on your environment and other applications.

You may read the manuals.

>Shibin: cp -r ~rajesh/* ~suresh/

Unless you are root, this won't copy the "." files, unless you use a better pattern.
You could use a tar/pax pipeline:
cd ~suresh
tar -cf - -C ~rajesh . | tar -xf -
