Confusion with "su -c" and quotes, user context switching?
Trying to execute commands for different Unix user with that user's environment variable context without fully switching as that user using sudo && su capabilities. Hoping this would help with security and not having to waste time switching between 10 different app users on same server.
I do not understand why 'ls' command would not get executed, but 'ls -l' would from below output!?.. Does anyone know why?
( Using solaris8, ksh Version: M-11/16/88 ) Please explain what difference does "-c" really make? I am able to execute commands as a sudo userB and his env variables(.profile, .login etc) without "-c" option as well.

/home/userA> man su

Example 2: Becoming User bin and Changing to bin's Login
Environment
To become user bin but change the environment to what would
be expected if bin had originally logged in, execute:
example% su - bin
Example 3: Executing command with user bin's Environment and
Permissions
To execute command with the temporary environment and per-
missions of user bin, type:
example% su - bin -c "command args"
