# runuser
> Run commands as a user and group without asking for password (needs root privileges).
> More information: <https://manned.org/runuser>.
- Run command as a different user:
`runuser {{user}} {{[-c|--command]}} '{{command}}'`
- Run command as a different user and group:
`runuser {{user}} {{[-g|--group]}} {{group}} {{[-c|--command]}} '{{command}}'`
- Start a login shell as a specific user:
`runuser {{user}} {{[-l|--login]}}`
- Specify a shell for running instead of the default shell (also works for login):
`runuser {{user}} {{[-s|--shell]}} {{/bin/sh}}`

`runuser {{user}} {{[-p|--preserve-environment]}} {{[-c|--command]}} '{{command}}'`
