See the examples in that same manual ..
Code:
EXAMPLES
su -m man -c catman
Runs the command catman as user man. You will be asked for man's
password unless your real UID is 0. Note that the -m option is
required since user ``man'' does not have a valid shell by
default.
su -m man -c 'catman /usr/share/man /usr/local/man'
Same as above, but the target command consists of more than a sin-
gle word and hence is quoted for use with the -c option being
passed to the shell. (Most shells expect the argument to -c to be
a single word).
And:
Code:
su -m www ps
/bin/ps: /bin/ps: cannot execute binary file
su -m www -c ps
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
