Hi All,

I need a script which should authenticate the 2 users present in the server and then proceed with the script.

The scripts should as follow:

It should ask the first user id, then his password, if its ok then it should ask for the second user id and its password, if its successful it should proceed with the script.

I have written through this ssh, but not satisfied. I have tried with su also,but could not succeed.

Any help is Appreciated.

You can't do that with shell script. You need to use real programming language like C or Perl to do that. Can you tell us more about what you are trying to do here? May be we can suggest something else...

Whenever a admin wants to reboot a machine, he will be asked to enter the details of the change record and atlast two other admins should authenticate and then reboot will be performed. We want to log all these information..

Standard Linux and UNIX systems record everything done by users including log of command run by users and system rebooting time. You need to setup sudo to delegate job and turn on system accounting for auditing purpose. No one writes script for this kind of work.

Try following tutorials for more info:

1. How to keep a detailed audit trail of what’s being done on your Linux systems
2. Linux last reboot time and date find out
3. Allow a normal user to run commands as root under Linux / UNIX operating systems
