Switch user Shell Script

[RAVIKIRAN_GUNISETTI]

Hi, 
Iam new to the shell scripting & need help ..


My Scenario: [Zimbra Mail Server]
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````
I have to write a shell script which changes the user from " root " to
"zimbra" using 'su - zimbra'
Then perform certain tasks & then logout from the 'zimbra user'


Now i can successfully log into 'zimbra' but the commands that i have
written after the 'su - zimbra' doesnot get recognized by the BASH SHELL &
thus my shell-script fails.

I tried using '|' but no luck. 

My Sample Script is
``````````````````````````````
su - zimbra
zmcontrol status > zm_status.txt
exit

Note: zmcontrol is Zimbra specific & can only be executed through zimbra
user login.

Please help me with this script.

Thanks
Ravi.
