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?
