Re: x

su with -c should do the trick

example: su nyx -c vncserver

You can also put it in your .bashrc, so it will be executed every time you log in. For example, I have it set to mount my external disc if it's plugged but not mounted:

if [[ -r /dev/disk/by-label/disco-externo && `mount | grep disco-externo | wc -l` -eq 0 ]]
then
  sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/disco-externo /mnt/disco-externo
fi

If you put the sudo away you can start any command as a regular user under certain circumstances.

Re: x

There shouldnt be any security issues or atleast i cant think of any ^^

su -c seems to be simpler than using sudo but no idea if theres any differences besides that.. most likely not.
