[Wrapper-user] Allowing a Linux (Fedora) service to interact with non root Desktop

[Joey G. <jo...@su...>]

I'm using the Java Service Wrapper to create a service in Linux. This Java
Application has no main GUI, but if certain error message occur then it
displays a warning box allowing the user to know. If I log into root and
install the application everything works fine. But, if I log into a none
root user graphically and then do a su - to get to root the service will not
start. This is the command I'm using inside the service
(/etc/init.d/rc.d/backup) to start the application

export DISPLAY=:0.0
/home/pulse/backups/bin/backup start -Djava.awt.headless=true

If I take out the "export DISPLAY=:0.0" the service will start fine, but
when an error occurs the warning box doesn't pop up.
