How to run multiple instances of same program !
Hi all.
In windows xp, i created another user account. Now i can run a second instance of any program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as. Is such a thing possible in linux (centos or ubuntu) in graphical environment ? |
Well, many programmes will allow you to run more than one instance of them at a time, regardless. If you're specifically after running it as another user, you can open a terminal and type
Code:
su user |
Or graphical frontend for su/sudo. If you use KDE you can do it with:
Code:
kdesudo -u user_name program_name |
Actually
Code:
# This logs you in as user WITH their env |
Thanks for that Chris; having seen both, I'd always wondered what the difference was...
