Journal Elwood P Dowd's Journal: Run As for OS X (not just sudo) 5
I want multiple versions of Safari running at the same time with different cookie sets.
Is there a way to run two applications in the same workspace as different users under OS X? I know I can sudo whatever I like, but
sudo -u myroommate open
