Aldrin Piri commented on NIFI-472:
----------------------------------
Must do some formatting but have this completed. Simple changes to the
assembly occurred to allow shared user/group privileges and the scripts were
used to perform the run.as operation.
One caveat that caught me for quite some time is that it seems that directory
permissions are not preserved via tar on OS X systems, and accordingly, will
not work out of the box using the mechanisms provided in this current state.
Not sure if it makes more sense to try to address via scripting (updating the
permissions of the affected files/folders) or if instructions on how to
manually perform these changes are preferred.

> Currently, if I set the "run.as" user to something like "nifi" and then I run
> "bin/nifi.sh start", a file named "nifi.pid" is created in the bin/
> directory, but it is owned by me. It should instead be owned by the "run.as"
> user (nifi).
