Support for defining uid and guid during rpm installation 
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MOJO-1232
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-1232
             Project: Mojo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: rpm
         Environment: linux (fedora and redhat) 
            Reporter: Erik Drolshammer


It would be nice if system administrators could set user and group during 
installation. This could be realized as either 

export RUN_AS_USER=application1User  
export RUN_AS_GROUP=applicationGroup

or with parameters to the rpm installation command. 

My current workaround is: 

            if [ "$RUN_AS_USER" = "" ]; then
            echo Variable RUN_AS_USER not set, defaulting to root.
            export RUN_AS_USER=root
            fi
            echo Changing ownership according to RUN_AS_USER=$RUN_AS_USER
            chown -Rc $RUN_AS_USER $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX
            echo chmod ug+x on directories in $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX
            find $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX -type d -exec chmod -c ug+x {} \;  

The  variable RUN_AS_USER was chosen because this variable is read by Java 
Service Wrapper scripts generated with appassembler-maven-plugin.
