Which operating system? On a Unix-like OS, you:
1) Create the user ("useradd webware" or edit /etc/passwd. Since the
user shouldn't log in, give them /bin/false for a login shell and no
home directory. Change the password in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow to
'x' or precede it with '!' to prevent them from logging in. The user
can be in group 'nogroup', or you can create a 'webware' group.)
2) Set the permissions of your Webware/ files according to which files
the AppServer must read and/or write while running. The stricter the
better (e.g., it must write log files, but it should not write to config
files or AppServer.py). Add write permission to any directory it
must create files in.
3) In your startup script, change LAUNCH_COMMAND to
su -c "LAUNCH_COMMAND" webware
This (if running as root) will make LAUNCH_COMMAND run as user
'webware'.
