Faster User Switching of a different kind
Authored by: elmimmo on Mar 19, '04 03:49:28AM

Look it up in this hinton why it does not work in all apps and how to do it with the ones that does not work. I wrote this hint before 10.3, and at the time you could only launch applications as a different user if that user was root, because the new user would not have permissions to use the original user's window manager (so no gui allowed, only cli). So, in other words, you could only do sudo the_command_line_of_said_hint_without_ending_'&' and not sudo -user username the_command_line_of_said_hint_without_ending_'&'. I do not know if this has changed in 10.3, since my computer is set with only one account.
