Running OpenFire as a different user

  • 772

I have a Ubuntu 10.4 system on which I'm running OpenFire but it currently runs as root. How can I make Openfire run as a different user?

Thanks

linux unix users openfire ubuntu-10.04

  1. I restart openfire nightly with a cron, so you should also be able to use this:

    sudo -u other_username /home/openfire/bin/openfire start

  2. Not completely sure about OpenFire, however something like su user openfire should work.
