I want to open a VIM instance with one user account (using su), then login as another user and access the same session with that user.
Example User1:
su - user2 -c vim somefile.txt
Then I want to login as User2 and then access that VIM process created by that first user. I know it's possible but I'm not sure how to do it.
linux vim

So, you want to open an interactive process (VIM) with one user, and then access with another user? Question: why does the first user have to use su, but not the second one?

tmuxorscreenare your best bets. alternately,disownorreptyror other tricks might be used. see serverfault.com/questions/24425/… or unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4034/… or a myriad of similar questions. the only difference here is running the initial process as a different user; personally i'd usesuwithtmux.

tmux or screen are your best bets. alternately, disown or reptyr or other tricks might be used. see serverfault.com/questions/24425/… or unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4034/… or a myriad of similar questions. the only difference here is running the initial process as a different user; personally i'd use su with tmux.– quixotic
