A simple shell script should be able to do your job, mutt is the my favourite for reading mails, the skeleton of the script is as follows.
su user1 -c "mutt" su user1 -c "mutt"
mutt is not at all what I have in mind! I know you can su to a different user and use a text based mail reader like mutt or pine from within the xterm. I am looking for a full GUI mail reader that can be launched from the command line of xterm. Something that has the look and functionality of Netscape mail. I know there is Kmial but how can that be launched as a su'ed user? To be more clear, if I have users root, joe, frank and bill. I log in as bill, su to root. Now su to joe and frank does not require a password. So I want to su to joe or frank and launch the equivalent of Netscape Mail / Kmail or whatever on bills desktop but as joe or frank. I used to do this with XFmail in Red Hat 6.0 but I am looking for even more GUI functionality that even XFmail. All comments welcome ------------------------------------ John N.
