Thanks Polytropon.

based on the answers here looks like the best answer is to use SUDO or
SUPER.

This is on a personal backup server and only has few scripts. I dont want
to readup on yet another shell scripting (someone in the forum mentioned
that /bin/sh is Almquist's Shell NOT bash). for the few scripts I run on
this server, I am just happy if they work as intended. If the server was
meant for anything else I will definitely not use csh scripts.
