Hi Fedora Users,
Does anyone know if it's possible to start a service using systemctl without
root privileges?
For example, I've set up a tomcat instance, which starts up fine when issuing
systemctl start with root:
[root@fedora22 tomcats]# systemctl start tomcat@instance1
[root@fedora22 tomcats]# ps -ef | grep java
tomcat 11056 1 46 09:44 ? 00:00:01 /usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java
-classpath
/usr/share/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar:/usr/lib/java/commons-daemon.jar
-Dcatalina.base=/var/lib/tomcats/instance1 -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat
-Djava.endorsed.dirs= -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/cache/tomcat/temp
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/var/lib/tomcats/instance1/conf/logging.properties
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
But when trying to run the command as the tomcat user which owns the instance
there's a message below I'm not sure about:
[root@fedora22 system]# sudo -u tomcat bash
bash-4.3$ id
uid=91(tomcat) gid=91(tomcat) groups=91(tomcat)
context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
bash-4.3$ systemctl start tomcat@instance1
Failed to start tomcat@instance1.service: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1
was not provided by any .service files
bash-4.3$
Thanks for any help.
Edward
