Dear All, I have two questions, both closely related.
First, when a job started rc.local, under which user is the job called? (I might be asking which user owns the job, but I don't know if that's the same thing). Second, is there any way to specify under which user a job is started when it is called from within rc.local? If you are confused about what I am asking, here is what I am going for: I want to start the VNC server at startup. I prefer to call it from rc.local, because I know how to do that. I don't want the server started as root, though, because then when I log in remotely through VNC, I will be the root user. That just doesn't sit right with me. What I would prefer to do is start the server as a less privileged user, again as the computer starts up.
