Paul Joseph Davis updated COUCHDB-603:
--------------------------------------
Skill Level: New Contributors Level (Easy)
> init script needlessly 'su's, and non-superuser use fails
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-603
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-603
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Infrastructure
> Environment: Unix
> Reporter: Chad MILLER
> Priority: Trivial
>
> The init script runs 'su' if the COUCHDB_USER variable is set, but it doesn't
> need to if the script is already running as that user. Add an additional
> condition on that test, so that normal role users can start and stop the
> server.
