SUMMARY: su - $user and use user .profile variables.

Thank you everyone.This is the solution which solved
all my problems

su - user -c '(cd $VARIABLE ; ... )'
the single quotes delay the substitution from the
outer shell, so it
works
in the subshell. Since $VARIABLE isn't set in the
environment from
which
su - is run, what gets passed to cd is the empty
string. Using single
quotes, the '$VARIABLE' remains intact and gets the
substitution when
su
