Bug Description

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

the constructs of the form ``su "${THIS_USER}" -c -- ${cmd}'' used in the script don't work if the user in question is running tcsh as tcsh does not have the '---' convention of, e.g., sh/bash, and fails with --: Command not found

maybe easiest fix would be to add options ``-s /bin/sh'' to su and maybe make the paths to the commands absolute? (i guess we do not have to worry here about restricted shells as this command wouldn't be executable as restricted users and the command is harmless?
