runuser

NAME

runuser - run a shell with substitute user and group IDs, similar to su, but will not run PAM hooks

SYNOPSIS

runuser [OPTION]... [-] [USER [ARG]...]

DESCRIPTION

Change the effective user id and group id to that of USER. No PAM hooks are run, and there will be no password prompt. This command is useful when run as the root user. If run as a non-root user without privilege to set user ID, the command will fail.

-g --group=group

specify the primary group

-G --supp-group=group

specify a supplemental group

-c, --command=COMMAND

pass a single COMMAND to the shell with -c

--session-command=COMMAND

pass a single COMMAND to the shell with -c and do not create a new session

-f, --fast

pass -f to the shell (for csh or tcsh)

-m, --preserve-environment

do not reset environment variables

-p

same as -m

-s, --shell=SHELL

run SHELL if /etc/shells allows it

--help

display this help and exit

--version

output version information and exit

A mere - implies -l. If USER not given, assume root.
