On my 780 running 4.2, I sometimes want cron to execute certain shell scripts under user ids other than root, such as uucp and news. Sometimes I can do: /bin/su news < shell.script and sometimes I have to do: echo shell.script | /bin/su news Could someone explain this? thanks -- Phil Ngai (408) 749-5720 UUCP: {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra}!amdcad!phil ARPA: amdcad!phil@decwrl.ARPA
