Target users environment

[Robert Cross]

Sorry if this is a RTFM question.

We've got a lot of scripts that run as root that do
 su - someuser "-c cd somedir; ${somesymbol}/someprogram"

now these rely on the 'su -' part, i.e. inheriting the default enviroment
of 'someuser'. Is there
anyway to use sudo to do this?

Part of my problem with this is that there is so much su activity going on
because of the scripts,
it's difficult to see a 'real' su that a user has done.

Cheers,

Bob Cross.
