If I want to login automatic (no prompt to enter password) after su command, How to do?

[akit3210]

I set .profile of user "xxx" to
------------------
./menu.sh
exit
------------------
After I login to user "xxx", It's will call menu.sh script.
If I want to change user to "yyy" before call menu.sh
How I can do? (by no prompt for enter password). I try to user su command

su - yyy
./menu.sh
exit

It's will ask password (Sure, I know password of user yyy). But I don't want user
"xxx" enter password, How to automatic login user "yyy"?

Thank you.

If user xxx is NOT a root user, then the only is to use a package like sudo.

You would set up sudo to allow user xxx to do a 'su - yyy'. Then in the menu you would do:

sudo su - yyy
./menu.sh
exit

You can get sudo from:

and/or
