Try something like this in the rc script: su - zope -c "/home/zope/start" HTH, - C On Tue, 2002-10-08 at 13:57, Adam Getchell wrote:

I'm running Zope 2.5.1p1 (and CMF) on OpenBSD 3.1. It runs in separated mode, so Zope sits in /usr/local/lib/zope, while the Zope instance runs under a normal user in /home/zope with the database in /home/zope/var and the start script as:

export INSTANCE_HOME=/home/zope export PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/lib/zope exec /usr/local/bin/python2.1 -O $PYTHONHOME/z2.py -D "$0" -p /home/zope/Zope.cgi

(the exec statement is one line).

All good, but I want to have zope autostart as the normal user (not root) by using /etc/rc.local.

I have this in rc.local

# Run zope if [ -x /usr/local/bin/python2.1 ]; then echo -n ' zope'; /home/zope/start fi

But I think this doesn't work, and would start as root.

Advice?

Thanks,
