Hi, Now, I'm trying to make it autostart (with ksysv and the following rc)

From mcdonc's how-to and some changes to my system:

#! /bin/sh # # processname: zope2 # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Get config. . /etc/sysconfig/network # Check that networking is up. if [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] then exit 0 fi # See how we were called. case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting Zope2 service: " daemon /usr/local/zope/start ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping Zope2 service: " /usr/local/zope/stop ;; restart|reload) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: zope {start|stop|restart}" exit 1 esac exit 0 I changed daemon /usr/local/zope/start to daemon su nobody /usr/local/zope/start & ^^^^^^^^^ ^ and /usr/local/zope/stop to su nobody /usr/local/zope/stop ^^^^^^^^^ Am I allowed to use 'su nobody' in an rc? And using '&' so unix can go further with loading all other modules? Can these give security risks? Is there another way? It also looks that 'su nobody' isn't even neseccary. Why? I want to use Zope with Apache, so I gave permission to nobody to start/stop Zope. How comes that I don't have to use 'su nobodoy'? Regards, Tom.
