asked on

switch betwen root and user accounts on linux once login root account already

Dear Experts,

Every time, when I'm using my VPS root account on linux shell, and then
I go to other user accounts, I will type # su otherusers, and then type exit go back to
root shell after typing password again. Is there any keyword/command  I can switch both root and user account without re-type su, type password ,type exit if I will do it many times  and without creating too many putty remote shell so that get less  error on less typing ?

Please advise

you can use different multiple tty console basically  which i can consider as the simplest way. Else this is the method you are already doing is the suggested one..

One more suggestion if you can use "screen" command to get rid of it.
