I want to start a p2p program while booting. I tried to write a script for /etc/init.d it works but only as root.
I want the program starting as a user process (for security reasons).
How can root start automatically a process as a user?
Many bootscripts use start-stop-daemon which has the option -c user:group, take a look at /etc/init.d/skeleton and modify to your needs.
I personally run [EMAIL PROTECTED] this way.
Other ways are sudo and su -c, or setting it setuid, but the latter won't work for a script anyway ;)
