switchuser in the rc.net

[olli2003]

Hi gys,

I'll try to start a process, not with root,
out from the rc.net.
I know it's possible to execute a program which is in here,
but this only for the user root, isn't it?
How can I implement a switchuser or something in this way?
Thanks for your help!

Best Regards
Oliver

Hi!

Sorry, but it's not working in that way.
Anybody another idea?
Thanks a lot,

Kind Regards

Probably you have to set some env variables or specify the full pathname

Hi sbix,

thanks for reply!
What do you mean with this?
What kind of path? The path for the /etc is already set.
What kind of entries in my environment?

Well, I don't know if the program you wish to launch is under /etc but it's better to specify su - user -c "/full_path/file_name"
Furthermore, if your program needs some lib it's better to launch a script with all the assigments inside like:
su - user -c "/path/script"
and in the script:

export PATH=blah_blah_blah
export LIBPATH=blah_blah_blah
export AL_THE_SETTINGS_YOU_NEED
/full_path/program_to_launch

Hello sbix,

thanks for help at first!
I've taken the full path but I think this user need some special libraries - perhaps.
I've take care of it.
Hope of success.
