Write an init script for it. There is a file /etc/init.d/skeleton which you can use as a starting point. Just copy that to whatever name you want, and edit it. Services are normally started with startproc, which takes a parameter "-u user" to let you run as a different user And once you've written the script and made it executable, it will automatically show up in YaST's services module Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
