Alternatively, sux B /path/to/app arg1 arg2 arg3 Needs user B's password. Requires package sux. If you have sshd set up with X forwarding enabled, you could also do ssh -X b...@localhost /path/to/app arg1 arg2 arg3 but this one feels like overkill. -- Cheers, Clive (end of message) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
