Hi,
You can do it with SUDO and RBAC (Role Based Access Control)utility in HPUX.

Re: Execute some command of root user

you can follow below steps to configure SUDO,

Once you install it. use visudo command to edit /etc/sudoers file.
Sample of that file

# User alias specification
User_Alias OPERATOR = sachin, petec, backup

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias DUMP = /usr/local/etc/cluster_backitup

# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
OPERATOR ALL = DUMP
Note: Upercase is necessary.

sudo -l to see what is available for user.


please go through the below thread for SUDO configuration detail which will help you in this regard,

If you change your UID to be root, you are likely to change your GID to match too.
