$ su -c "/usr/bin/pkgstats" nobody I use this everywhere, and it works.
Doesn't work here (tested on several systems). It always asks me to change the password for the user nobody.
Yes, the user needs to be able to log in (nobody has an invalid shell by default iirc). I think you can work around this, somehow, I'll check later. sudo seems like a bad choice anyway.
