Execute program as su 1

[JAFrank]

Ok, I know I should know how to do this, but apparently there's a dead brain cell right there....

I need to run a program from the command line as su - can someone help me with the syntax?

Thanks!

Hello,

If you want to mantain your environment:

su username -c comand_string

and if you want the environment of the user you switch to:

su - username -c command_string


Take a look at the man pages for other available options or just post for additional info.

Bye,

Thank you, that was exactly what I needed.

Have a star, on me!
