Actually I can run a process as a different user on windows. I just don't
know how to load user env vars by staf automatically.
Currently I am in a project that provide a unitive interface for many users
to run their test on a distributed enviroment. The ability to run test on
remote machines is provide by STAF. Because many tests depend on special
enviroment, we create some different users on all machine and set up
enviroment. Follow your kind help, I have been able to start a process under
a specific user with associated enviroment variables on linux, but now I am
feazed by how to do it on windows.
Best regards,
Homer
