su和sudo的区别

su -- Change the effective user id and group id to that of USER. A mere - implies -l. If USER not given, assume root.

su [options] [-] [USER [arg]...]

sudo -- execute a command as another user

sudo [options] [<command>]sudo -i -- run login shell as the target usersudo -s -- run shell as the target user;

Different:

  1. -The main difference between the two is that su requires the password of the target account, while sudo requires the password of the current user.
  2. -Additionally，it is advisable to stick to sudo when performing tasks that require root privileges. By doing so, the current user is only granted privileged for the specified command.
