LFS is working great, and I can safely say I know much more about linux then I did before going through the book, so thanks to all those who contributed.
I am wrapping up my fileserver built from LFS SVN 2010-01-09 and I am trying to find a way to run a daemon process as a different user. In the book we only used the apps config file to specify a different user, ex, svn, proftpd. But I want to run Deluge under a different user and it does not have a config option for this. So I am wondering if there is some way I am 'supposed' to setup the init script to do this. I am trying to avoid installing any more unnecessary programs like daemon and start-stop-daemon so any advice is appreciated. Basically I want to mimic the provided example init scripts from here http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript This is what I am using at the moment #!/bin/sh # Deluge daemon startup . /etc/sysconfig/rc . $rc_functions case "$1" in start) boot_mesg "Starting deluged service..." loadproc -p /var/run/deluged.pid /usr/sbin/deluged -c /etc/deluge/ -p 58840 -l /var/log/deluged.log RETVAL=$? if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] ; then boot_mesg "Starting deluge web ui..." loadproc -p /var/run/webluge.pid /usr/sbin/deluge-web -f -c /etc/deluge/ -l /var/log/webluged.log fi ;; stop) boot_mesg "Stopping deluged service..." killproc /usr/sbin/deluged boot_mesg "Stopping deluge web ui..." killproc /usr/sbin/deluge-web ;; restart) $0 stop sleep 1 $0 start ;; status) statusproc /usr/bin/deluged ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}" exit 1 ;; esac I checked out the functions library and did not see anything jump out at me. Thanks
