Unfortunately "su -c cmd user" does not work for me. Some errors arise due to the fact that the user's environment is not passed to the "cmd" program. My "cmd" program needs to inherit the user's login environment.
For the same reason, setting the program setuid does not work either. As far as cron goes, how would you set cron to start the process after each system reboot?
