Starting scripts as other users from the rc*.d directories

[Nickolas A Gray]

Hi Folks,

FIrst time here. I am trying to start such things as Weblogic, Clarify, etc when the system boots to run level three. For security reasons we have chosen to create users
and groups for each product and we want the owner of the process to remain these users.

Can someone point me to a way to do this using S* scripts. during the boot process

Hi,

boot scripts in HP-UX 10.20/11.00 are located at /sbin/init.d
They have symlinks from /sbin/rc.[01234}.d
Within these files you can change the user with:su - -c ""
Typically this is the case to ie. start oracle database.
You can do a SEARCH in the forums for this topic.
