Description Kendrick Vargas 2000-01-03 11:31:04 EST

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.
