You don't become non-root. You start off as non-root. Then you su - as needed. Opening up a connection and su - may well be what I did in the first window immediately. But in the second terminal why bother with that? My immediate concern was tailing the already readable log file. No reason to su -; cd /wherever/i/was/before/i/used/su ; tail -f app.log. Running getenforce is a spur of the moment inspiration. It should be simple to Ctrl-Z that log; sudo getenforce; fg since I'm doing something else in the terminal where I'm already su'd.And in one window you're busily typing away root commands while the other is tailing your applications log file as a normal user.Why a normal user? Is this a remote system in pain managed by myself or is this my desktop system I happen to be logged on as a non-root user? I don't see multiple xterms as an argument to running diagnosics and other utils as non-root. The only time I would like to become non-root on these systems is to see whether there are any ACL issues with what I just fixed.
