Hello, I have looked at my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and realized that the symlink I put there has the root as owner. It all works but I would rather use a non-root user for to run that script. $ ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 40 May 9 2007 sender.sh -> /usr/home/api/sender/start.sh So I tried: $ sudo chown api /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sender.sh No error but no change either. The original start.sh file has user api but the symlink is owned by root. How can I make sure that the file is indeed run as user api? Thanks! Zbigniew Szalbot
