# Prozess unter einem anderen Benutzer starten

```shell
sudo -H -u otheruser bash -c 'echo "I am $USER, with uid $UID"'
```

Wobei mit `-c` erst der eigentlich auszuführende Befehl festgelegt wird

***Auszug aus den sudo-Manpages:***

> <div>-H The -H (HOME) option requests that the security policy set  
> the HOME environment variable to the home directory of the  
> target user (root by default) as specified by the password  
> database. Depending on the policy, this may be the default  
> behavior.</div>

> <div>-u user The -u (user) option causes sudo to run the specified  
> command as a user other than root. To specify a uid  
> instead of a user name, use #uid. When running commands as  
> a uid, many shells require that the '#' be escaped with a  
> backslash ('\'). Security policies may restrict uids to  
> those listed in the password database. The sudoers policy  
> allows uids that are not in the password database as long  
> as the targetpw option is not set. Other security policies  
> may not support this.</div>
