Hi,
I understand that hobbit needs to run as the hobbit user, but it is a bit annoying to have the hobbit startup script require the hobbit user to run it.
When I want to run it automagically out of /etc/init.d I have to change the script to not check for hobbit and then do an su to the hobbit user thus:
su -c "/home/xymon/server/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg --env=/home/xymon/server/etc/hob
bitserver.cfg --log=/var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.log --pidfile=/var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid"
why is it done this way rather than as above, thus allowing the server to start out of init.d?
