I use this in my init.d script:

su - hobbit -c "cd /home/hobbit/client; ./runclient.sh start"

I want the client (and eventually server too) to startup on my monitored machines at bootup. Now I can get the process up and running through init.d as user root but not as hobbit. Whats the simplest way to do:

su hobbit

/usr/local/hobbit/client/runclient.sh –hostname=xxx

At machine boot?

Im new to this area of Linux so it’s probably very simple and im missing something!
