startup script running as "user"

[De8o]

We have a script that needs to be run on startup. I've created a custom script and enabled it using chkconfig for runlevels 3,4,5. However this script needs to be run as a user mqm. How can I do this, qas thinking along the lines of SUID. Any help would be appreciated.

In your startup script you probably want to start the Queue Manager, so this is a typical entry in the script:

/bin/su - mqm -c "strmqm Your_QM_Name"

Your alternative is to add user root to the mqm group if security isn't a real issue, then root can start/stop the QM plus all other MQ related commands.
