Here is the script that i am trying to execute as a non-root user:

#!/bin/sh
ps -C java -o thcount > /home/proc_threads/tempfile
awk ' { total += $1 } END { print total } ' /home/proc_threads/tempfile

here is the output when i try to execute as a non-root user:

./javathreads: line 2: /home/proc_threads/tempfile: Permission denied
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/home/proc_threads/tempfile' 
for reading (Permission denied)

Thanks
Jatin
