    Upstart v1.4+ states ...

    setuid $user

    Changes to the user before running the job's process.

    • Change $user to an actual username
    • Note that all processes (pre-start, post-stop, et cetera) will be run as the user specified.
    • Note that if you specify an invalid username in the setuid stanza, Upstart will log an error if it is in Debug Mode.
