Hello:
I have a subversion repository set up in /usr/local/svn/MyProject.
For security, I have that directory set to apache as the owner and group and all files are mode 700.
I need to run a svnsync command as the apache user so it may write to the repository.
I tried this command:
su apache -c "/usr/bin/svnsync sync https://svn2.jammconsulting.com/svn/MyProject"
But I get this message from the su command: This account is currently not available.
I am guessing this happens because the apache account is set with no password and a nologin shell.
How can I run a command as the apache user?
Thanks, Neil

I don't want to change its shell to a valid shell. It should be a locked account.

Run chsh apache and change it's shell to a valid shell.
