Multiple User Shell Script
I would like to make a shell script that will be run as root.

This shell script will su into various users and then run commands as them. sudo won't work.

eg:

su username1
runcommand
sleep 5
exit
su username2
runcommoand
sleep 5
exit
.
:

Any help is greatly appreciated.
