    Changing user with reading the .profile

    Hi, I am trying to figure out how to su to a certain user but have it read that users .bash_profile. In other words. If I am root and want to change to joe ( su joe ), I want it to read joe's .bash_profile. The reason for this is all the users have a menu that pops up when they log in. My user name and root do not have this menu. I hope that makes sense. Thanks.

    Code:
    su - username
    That should do what you want.

    If that isn't what you want let me know.
