As already told the only reason rxapi needs to be run as sudo is that it writes to /var/run I have already - in my sandbox - modified rxapi To get the OOREXX_PIDFILE environment variable and use it I use export OOREXX_PIDFILE=/tmp/ooRexx.pid And since SysLocalAPIManager starts the rxapi process Nothing has to be done I have been running for a few days with this setup and everything works as a charm I run successfully the test suite ( the native api section needs a few adjustments ) rexx testOORexx -s -X native_api with 0 errors I was able also to build a fully relocatable binary that can run from a usb stick with just a couple of exports The new PATH for the bin directory of rexx, the NLSPATH for the rexx.cat and the OOREXX_PIDFILE for the rxapi thing I have sent my binaries to P.O and Rony to have a confirmation of my findings As soon as they confirm I will post a patch for wider testing Cheers Enrico
