在执行bash脚本期间如何更改用户身份，并继续以新用户身份运行命令？

Question

So I'm making an ubuntu bash script for an installation and in the middle of it I have to change users to the postgres user (running sudo su postgres ) then I have to enter postgres shell and run some commands more. The problem is that when I change user to the postgres user the commands keeps running with the root user. How can I run these commands with the postgres user?

Answer 1

When you run sudo su user you switch to this users shell, but your script is still in your first root shell, and is waiting for sudo su user to finish so it can continue.

You should run each command for another user like this: sudo -u other_user your_command
