command execution

Hi to everyone,
How can I execute a command on behalf of another user while I am logged in as super user? Does anyone has an idea?

Thanks in advance

su <user> -c <command>

works great. To execute multiple commands:

su <user>
command1
command2
.
.
.
exit

remember, you can switch to any user, not just root, using su (of course, if you're not root, you need to known their password).
