On UNIX systems, running a process as another user is as simple as using the "su" command (or "sudo", if you have that set up). Try looking at the man pages for those two commands and you should be able to figure out how to run one command as another user. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhO5xEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PARsgCfeN86bIudAh3jbB15itWD8iww 3MAAmQFyVY0hjMKgzxsY7Ue8h9cB2yjI =YnF6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
