NAME
runuser - run a shell with substitute user and group IDs, similar to su, but will not run PAM hooks
SYNOPSIS
runuser [OPTION]... [-] [USER [ARG]...]
DESCRIPTION
Change the effective user id and group id to that of USER. No PAM hooks
are run, and there will be no password prompt. This command is useful
when run as the root user. If run as a non-root user without privilege
to set user ID, the command will fail.
