Do you start all your Mesos Agents with root user? We use systemctl on linux, smf on solaris, a plist launchd on OS X ( which has severe latency issues) and just now looking at windows. When we start the task we switch to a non root user.

We have found several cases where the mesos provided compute resource requires some additional setup since the created process is not quite the same as a process created by login. We would prefer to have some code apply changes once the resource is allocated and before we start our task on the resource. Is there any framework support for this that you could recommend or suggest I look at. We don’t want to have out application need to be aware that it is running in a mesos created process. Some examples: On OS X several keychain operations fail because the keychain is not created. A reader of this list provided a solution that I would like to apply to the node before starting the task that requires valid keychains. You can’t configure some of these things before the process is created so using puppet or ansible would not help. It needs to be done at runtime. On Linux and OS X /usr/bin/expect fails due to some issues that may be related to environment settings like HOME, LOGNAME … The mesos plugin for jenkins provides support for setting of some values before the node is executed.
