I wanted to set up a script that switches users and runs that command as that other user.

so example

sudo su myFavoriteUser && /run/command/as/myFavoriteUser

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sahr

Possible duplicate of su options - running command as another user .... always do research before asking a question ... did you google ... bash execute script as another user ... why do research ? it makes you far more productive and independent – Scott Stensland Aug 15 '19 at 17:29

I agree with the above comment but since Sahr is a new user, I'll suggest to him to look at the option -c for su – unxnut Aug 15 '19 at 17:37
