Alessandro Mauri 37c594c1bd implemented shell wrapper 
commands are now run in a subshell, this is often needed for chains of commands
where it is not the main command to need the privilege but a subcommand does,
for example

us echo 30 > /sys/class/backlight/*/brightness

it is not echo that needs the elevated privilege but the redirection '>' does.

US - User {Switcher,Shell}

Opens a shell as a different user without needing to authenticate as that user. This is similar to the behavior of su but it allows to execute privileged and/or commands as any other user without needing their password.
