You can add something like the following to your rc.local script. su - russell -c /home/russell/bin/start-the-server.sh It is started when the machine is boot, but it is started as user 'russell'. assumption: The server you want doesn't need to be bound to a port <1024 which root must do. You haven't really defined the problem in a way that I can really give you a good answer. --- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> See http://weblog.flora.ca/ for announcements, activities, and opinions Most recently in Toronto: Copyright or Wrong? http://www.rabble.ca/rumble/ ALERT!
