HI,

I am writing a shell script lets say run.sh and i want to call another script lets say test.sh having permissions " root:sys" whereas the permissions for run.sh are "root:other".

Problem is that i cannot change the permissions of either of them. run.sh is performing some other important functions as well and test.sh is a system script and i am not supposed to change that.

If i do not change the permissions, run.sh simply skips the part where it is suppose to call test.sh

Can anyone tell me how do i call test.sh in run.sh without changing permissions of any of them.



Code:
run.sh
#!/bin/sh
dub=`cd /opt/FJSVmadm/sbin
hrdconf -l`

check5=`grep '*' $dub`

if [ "$check5" ]
then
echo "Hardconf Status....................OK\n"
else
echo "Hardconf Status....................NOK\n"
fi

Thanks in advance

I've closed your duplicate thread..

I think there is a basic rule: You can't do something with a file where you do not have permissions. The exception is that root can do anything--regardless of permission settings. So I think the only way is to run "run.sh" as root.
