Linux CLI - Users and Groups

You want to run a script as user deploy without fully switching to their environment. Which command is best to use?

Asu -c deploy ./script.sh

Bsu deploy -c './script.sh'

Csu deploy ./script.sh

Dsu - deploy ./script.sh

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand running commands as another user
Using su username -c 'command' runs the command as that user without opening a full shell.
Step 2: Check options for correct syntax
su -c deploy ./script.sh wrong flag order, su - deploy ./script.sh starts login shell, su deploy ./script.sh starts non-login shell. Only su deploy -c './script.sh' runs directly.
Final Answer:
su deploy -c './script.sh' -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use -c to run command as user [OK]

Quick Trick: Use su -c 'command' to run without full switch [OK]
