S-bit set on the user

TeamSite 5.5.2 SP3
Solaris

I wrote a little web app that's used to create, edit, manage, and publish content. One of the provided functions is starting a workflow. Being aware that only a 'master', which none of the users are, can run iwjobc I wrapped the cmd in a perl script and set the s-bit on the owner of the script (I'm the owner and have a master role).

The problem is that the sticky bit doesn't seem to have any effect... A user with a non-master role receives an error msg when running the script (I don't).

Following is my perl script that's being invoked:
#--- Begin Script ---#
#!/p01/app/iw/tsite/5.5.2/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl -w

use TeamSite::Config;
use strict;

my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome();
my $job_spec = "$iwhome/local/config/wft/job-specifications/temp/train18.xml";
my $job_id = `$iwhome/bin/iwjobc -i $job_spec`;

print "ID: $job_id\n";
#--- End Script ---#


The permissions are: -rws--x--x

The script prints out the following when a non-master user executes it:
You must be a master to run iwjobc.
ID:



I thought that setting the s-bit on the owner of a file would cause the file to be executed under the user-ID of the user that owns the file rather than the user that executes the file?

What the heck am I doing wrong?

Stupid question but I have to ask, how are they invoking it ?

p01/app/iw/tsite/5.5.2/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl blah.ipl ?

sticky bit will not help there.

SHOULD work as blah.ipl

HTH
