watch df -h-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sudo requires that you type your own password. (The purpose is to limit the damage if you leave your keyboard unattended and unlocked, and also to ensure that you really wish to run that command and it wasn't e.g. a typo.) It is often configured to not ask again for a few minutes so you can run several sudo commands in succession.
$ sudo -i
# command 1
# command 2
...
# exit
Instead of sudo -i, you can use sudo -s. The difference is that -i reinitializes the environment to sane defaults, whereas -s uses your configuration files for better or for worse.
su
The su command exists on most unix-like systems. It lets you run a command as another user, provided you know that user's password. When run with no user specified, su will default to the root account.
su -c 'service apache restart'
$ su
# command 1
# command 2
...
# exit
