Re: [Wrapper-user] Service access System.getProperty("user.home")

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

Frank,
By default, the Wrapper runs as the SYSTEM user.  If you want to be
running as a specific user, try setting the wrapper.ntservice.account
property.  Be sure to read the docs:
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-ntservice-account.html

Cheers,
Leif

In the log that was created, I see that System.getProperty("user.home") suddenly gives C:\ instead of my home directory.
