The command runuser is used to run a command as a different user. In this case, ${user} is a variable that represents the desired user to run the command as.

${command} is another variable that represents the command that you want to run.

The -c option is used to specify the command that needs to be executed.

So, when this command is executed, it will run ${command} as ${user}.
