        - the local shell using a different user with `sudo -u <user>`, or
        - the remote shell using a specified user login at a host via `ssh <user>@<host>`
    - supply environment paths exported in the shell prior to executing the command
    - return error code, stdout, stderr to a logger from the `logging` module as debug message

    Args:
        cmd (str): A string used as shell command.
        remote (str): A name of a remote server, if given ssh is invoked.
        user (str): A user name to connect with ssh to a `remote` server or
            switch to using sudo for localhost.
        piped (bool): Enable using `bash -s` to pipe commands to shell.
        env (str): Folder paths to use and export in PATH shell variable.

        :py:class:`subprocess.CompletedProcess`: An object holding args, returncode and stdout/stderr values
