But... I then I will need to "login" in order to execute the application... and what I need it's to run it as soon as the Computer turns on (like all the rc.d run levels scrtipts) but I need that the application run's as if was owned by a user different than root. :( thanks !

You can use su - <username> -c <command> syntax . Peter Linux User wrote:

Ok, then. Make an /etc/init.d/whatever script and put this in it: su --login --command=application user Look at /etc/init.d/skeleton to make a better script. -- Silviu Marin-Caea Systems Engineer Linux/Unix http://www.genesys.ro Phone +40723-267961

SuSE's init scripts use startproc to launch processes. Have you tried using the -u flag to startproc?
