This is a feature request/bug report. I'd like to request that functionality be added somewhere to the daemon function /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions ... It would be nice to have a --user option that allows us to specify a user to run a process as. Currently, I run the commands as: daemon 'su username -c "/path/to/mycommand --options"' however this creates cosmetic problems with the current implementation of daemon. It would be nice to run this as: daemon --user username '/path/to/mycommand --options' I think this is a valid feature request and could be quite usefull in future package installations. -peace
This has been added as of somewhere around 4.84 or so.
