Re: Nothing executes after system.

It doesn't wait for the password. I can see that it switches the user 
coz the prompt changes. But as you said , yes, since another process 
gets spawned and su gets executed.

Is there another way os saying "su" using perl?

Thanks.

The su is probably waiting for you to enter in a password.

...And this probably doesn't do what you think anyway.  Even though 
you su,
it doesn't change who the current script is running under.  Your 
program (as
written) will spawn a new process, execute su, then close that process.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

@args = ("/usr/bin/su","sam");
system(@args);
print "hello";
Any idea why print never gets executed? So, the switch user takes place
but nothing gets executed after that..
Thanks.
