Hello Managers,
two days ago I saw the following message from Jay Shen <jshen_at_kidsat.ucsd.edu>
about running user programs at boot suggesting the use of 'su -user -c
command'
I have just installed DU4.0 and the command 'su' doesn't accept any longer
the '-c option' while it worked perfectly with 3.2C.

This is from 'man su':


SYNOPSIS

  su [-f] | [-] [user]


        ciao
