Re: [Wrapper-user] starting wrapper as user

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

John,
    By the "tomcat" file, are you referring to the Wrapper's 
"sh.script.in" file renamed as
"tomcat"? Or the tomcat script that comes with Tomcat?

    I assume the Wrapper's file, in which case you should just have to 
change:
#RUN_AS_USER=
to
RUN_AS_USER=youruser

    This must be done before the Wrapper script is launched of course.  
If there are
no errors launching the Wrapper then a "ps -aux" should show the wrapper 
and java
processes running as "youruser".  Are they showing up running as "root" 
on your
system?

    To debug the script, you may want to add some echo statements to 
make sure
it is all working correctly on your platform.  I use this feature quite 
a bit on Linux.

Cheers,
Leif
