Running forever as another user with sudo appears to ignore log file parameters

[markbao]

Tested on node 0.6.5 and 0.4.12.

Running forever using sudo -u appears ignore the specified log file parameters.

+ sudo -u app /usr/local/bin/forever start -p /logs -l /logs/forever.log -o /logs/out.log -e /logs/err.log server.js
The "sys" module is now called "util". It should have a similar interface.
info�:   Forever processing file: �server.js�

This is fixed in forever@0.8.x. The permission denied here is expected, but you can see it's trying to get to /logs not /root/.forever

$ sudo -u Charlie forever -p /logs -l /logs/forever.log -o /logs/out.log -e /logs/err.log examples/server.js -p 8080
