Hello,
Many thanks to Michael Matthews, Mark Scarborough, C.Ruhnke, Ian
Goodacre, Bob Sloan, and David B. Ritch for their response to my process
ownership problem. The way to change ownership of a process is to use
the su command in the following manner: su username -c command
The original question follows:
> Hi,
> Does anyone know how I may be able to get a process to startup at
> boot time and then have the owner of the process be another user? Basically,
> have 2 accounts that have processes which routinely ftp stuff using
> an ever changing .netrc file. I want to get those processes to start
> automatically at boot time but still use the .netrc files that are in the
> user account's home directories. I may be thinking wrong here, but I figured
> that if I can start those process at boot and change their ownership to

> Any thoughts?

Thanks again,
Bill Antoniadis
