How to start the daemon by nobody? Do I have to start as nobody?

I have only one box. So how many ports can I give to the daemon?

memcached

  1. -u <username> assume identity of <username> (only when run as root)

    So you can run

    memcached -u nobody -d

    the -d flag will launch it as a daemon in the background

    memcached -h

    That will list all the flags you can use

    I just checked, by default on Debian it's launched as nobody. Just run:

     /etc/init.d/memcached start

    If you'r running CentOS or RedHat:

     service memcached start
