Fix RUN_AS_USER feature for UNIX environments (linux, solaris,macos)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONTINUUM-554
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-554
Project: Continuum
Type: Bug
Components: Core system
Versions: 1.0.2
Environment: any unix like OS running continuum as non root user.
Reporter: Rainer.Pruy
Attachments: DIFF
When RUN_AS_USER is specified in the run.sh script continuum will not start.
This is caused by a change in the current directory resulting from calling "su
- .....".
In the regular (non RUN_AS_USER) case, the current directory is changed to the
os specific calling directory "bin/<OS>/".
After calling "su - ..." the current directory is the home directory of the
target user.
For fixing the following two possibilities come to mind:
1: change to the correct directory within the command passed to "su"
(See the enclosed patch for bin/linux/run.sh" a similar patch may be
applied for solaris and macos)
2. avoid using "su - "
Calling "su" without "-" option will preserve the current environment and
not change the current directory.
I personally prefer method '1'. Usually the run user will be a dedicated user
for running continuum. Using "-" option will establish a default environment
for this user. Theat is easy to be controlled and configured and avoids
conflicts with other applications.
