Many thanx to those who responded with the solutions.

Question:

What is the best way to allow a user to renice/kill jobs run by
other users except root? I know setuid scripts don't work on Solaris.

I recived threee diff. solutions.

1. You can run SetUID scripts on Solaris.
        use /bin/csh -b /bin/sh -p or you can use ksh or perl scripts. or
write a c wrapper.

2. modify the source code of top that has the capability of killing jobs.

3. Use sudo.
Where to find sudo
==================
Before you try and build sudo, *please* make sure you have the current
version. The latest sudo may always be gotten via anonymous ftp
from ftp.courtesan.com in the directory /pub/sudo/.
The distribution is cu-sudo.vM.m.tar.Z where `M' is the major
version number and `m' is the minor version number.
BETA versions of sudo may also be available.
