Hi, is it possible to write a fixlet that executes a program with a user that is different than root in aix systems?

Since the BigFix Agent is running as root, you can simply “su” as another user.

Here is an example (non-tested) ActionScript.

wait /bin/sh -c “su {name of current user} -c ‘mycommand’”
