[opensuse-factory] run commands as system user
Hi all, How can I run a command as a system user? (because su - systemuser -c "command" doesn't work ...) -- Robert Xu + Linux is awesome; don't doubt what it can do + rxu(at)lincomlinux(dotttttt)org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

did you literally type "su - systemuser"? "systemuser" is supposed to be replaced by the name of your 'systemuser,' usually root. try "su - -c <command>" because leaving the system user's name blank defaults to "root". -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

In the last case you need to have an account systemuser. If you mean to run the account as root replace systemuser with root. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
Hi, su - systemuser -c "command" -s /bin/bash So you are replacing usual for system users /bin/false with /bin/bash just once for this command execution. Regards, Yury 2011/9/11 Robert Xu <rxu@lincomlinux.org>:

Great! Thanks. And no, I was not actually typing systemuser and/or command. Next time I should use $SYSTEMUSER just to avoid confusion... ._. -- Robert Xu + Linux is awesome; don't doubt what it can do + rxu(at)lincomlinux(dotttttt)org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
