Hi,

I have a script I would like to launch at boot time, as a non-root user, to remain running in the background. What is the best way to accomplish this? I looked through the rc* stuff, and it looks like overkill for what I need, plus my scripting isn't that strong either.

I know I can do something like:   su - user -c "script_to_run"
But I don't even know what's the best place to include that.

Any suggestions, or examples?

A sample script could be /etc/rc.d/sysctl, it contains a block sysctl_start() which is executed when you run # /etc/rc.d/sysctl start

Using that as a sample you can insert you custom startup code.

Cheers, Erik
