Hm?
My idea isn't good.
[root at archlinux rocketmouse]# /usr/bin/sudo -u rocketmouse -s echo ":)"
:)
[root at archlinux rocketmouse]# echo $?
0
[root at archlinux rocketmouse]# id -u
0
Perhaps you should test it by adding an additional sudo
[root at archlinux rocketmouse]# /usr/bin/sudo -u rocketmouse -s id -u
1000
just to test if it really does work as expected.
