I have a daemon written in c, which starts separate process with
different user ID. I want those process to get particular user's
environment variables (set in ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc according to that
user's shell type).

Any help in this regards will be greatly appreciated

"su - username", sort of?  I would have a peek to the "su" source code...
