How to change user in terminal?

[ralfaltmann]

Hi,

is there a way to change the user in terminal? It seems Terminal.exe doesn't accept parameters.

What have you tried so far?

[ralfaltmann]

I tried to call Terminal.exe with parameter [username], but that only opens a new terminal which thinks the username is a program to execute.
Also tried to sudo [username], but that didn't work either. Couldn't find anything about it on forum or discord. I don't know how "compatible" the ingame terminal is to real Linux terminals. Thinking of writing a script for that, if it's not possible with the current implementation :)

Sudo su will make you root, if you have the privileges to do so. But I don’t think you can su as another user on the system, just root.

[ralfaltmann]

Yeah, sudo [username] was something I tried according to a google search for real terminal behaviour :)
I think I'll try to make a script.

You may want to just try 'su' as in 'su jimmybob' to Switch User to someone with a rediculous name.

Have you tried that yourself Dr Derp?

[DrDerpenstein]

Only on real-life Linux machines. It'd be worth a try in game though.

[Memnoch]

Right, but you have the game, which is why I was asking.

To login as root: sudo -s
To login as a normal user: sudo -u username
