just to confirm, the script that I use (which I'm guessing we both
yanked from that wiki) also has the 

su - $USER -c $MUSICHOME"MusicMagicServer start & > /dev/null" 

command in it.

pfarrell -- I think the idea here is to provide flexibility for musicIP
NOT to run as root.  It works for me to have that command because I run
MusicIP as a different non-privileged user than my default login...I can
control, with permissions, stuff I don't want to show up.  (and yes, I'm
sure there are better ways :-)

did "su" get somehow more locked down or removed or something in 9.04? 
I remember I had to go out of my way to enable "su" to elevate to the
user to root since ubuntu only allowed "sudo", but to be honest I can't
remember if "su" worked for other users before I enabled it or not! 
pfarrell asks a good question -- can you use "su" from the command
line?
