Hi, many daemons allow an argument "-u uid" which makes the program to run under that user. Of course this can be done just by root or privileged users. It's commonly used in init scripts. These are started by init process running as root and start services running under other user. However it seems that ruby binary doesn't implement such option. Is there any way to get it? If not I should use "su" command and so. Thanks. -- IƱaki Baz Castillo <ibc / aliax.net>
