Creating Daemons in Linux... how should the file permissions be?

  • 772

I am setting up a few PHP Gearman Daemons running on PEAR System_Daemon. I need them to be able to write to the following locations...

/var/run/{APPNAME}.pid
/etc/init.d/{APPNAME}
/gearman/log/{APPNAME}.log

What permissions should I set for them? I don't mind creating a different user or what have you, but I am just not the greatest with File Permissions. I want to do this right, not chmod 777 for ease of use and running as root which is never a good idea.

Help this file permission idiot?

    You can create a user:group for this daemon, and give them the permissions you need.

    As root you can always 

    sudo -u newuser $program
