Martin van den Bemt commented on CONTINUUM-554: ----------------------------------------------- I can confirm this patch works like a charm.. > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
