Here is a sample from my httpd startup script I use at boot.

su - httpd --command="nohup ${TOMCAT_HOME}/bin/startup.sh
>>${TOMCAT_HOME}/logs/t3.2_jk $

NOTE: notice that the above command is one line.  There is no line break.

Basically you tell 'su' to execute '--command="command"' as '- user'.  If
you need to pass parameters don't forget your $ or $* as needed.
