I have not had to do what you want to do, but I would think the womonitor/wotaskd launchd items is what determines that the wo installation runs as appserver.... so changing appserver to root in those places might be all that is needed. Of course this will probably make all apps run as root.

If you want just one app run as root, then this unusual requirement might be achievable as follows ....

wotaskd launches apps in spawnofwotaskd.sh script inside its own woa bundle ..... maybe customizing this script might be a basis for launching different apps as different users but I would think wotaskd itself would have to be root to be able to launch another app as root and the rest as appserver.

In any case, if I was doing this I would experiment on a dev server, not a live production one.

Hi list

I know that this is unusual and I'm fully aware of any security problems this might bear. But for one deployment of a webobjects app we need the webobject app to start as root instead of appserver. Where do I have to set this up?
