[comp.sys.hp] Changing user id in VUE

eilif@imm.unit.no (Eilif Pedersen ) (03/25/91)

Does anybody know of a way to change user-id when using HP-VUE ?

Using su, login etc only works in one window.  What I really want to
do is to use an already working SoftBench in my own user environment, 
as root also....?

I don't think I totally understand your question (especially the part
about "an already working SoftBench"), but if you want to run HP VUE 
as root you must login to VUE as root.  As you noted you can also 
simply su within a terminal window.
