Note that if you do this (with double quotes), the value of $PATH will be expanded by your interactive shell before the su command is processed, rather than inside the spawned subshell. Try su amanda -c 'id; echo PATH=$PATH; echo HOME=$HOME; echo USER=$USER' and see if that tells you anything interesting. (The single quotes should prevent expension of the variables at command-input time, leaving them to be expanded in the subshell.) Also, what does "ls -l /usr/local/sbin/amcheck" show? Finally, does su amanda -c "/usr/local/sbin/amcheck Daily" work?
