su - <username> -c

Good afternoon

I am trying to start the solvese credit card software as part of the boot up process.

The first thing to start is the licence manager and the solvese itself. The licence manager is in /solvese/SENTINEL_LM/bin.
To start the licence manager I use the following command

su - solvese -c /solvese/SENTINEL_LM/bin/lserv &

the licence manager starts but cannot open a file. The file it requires is in /solvese/SENTINEL_LM/bin however the error message indicates that the process is looking for the file in /solvese.

If I start the licence manager manually, which is the usual method, by starting it from /solvese/SENTINEL_LM/bin then everything is OK.

Any ideas?

Not really an answer, but could you not just link the existing file to /solvese?

Thnks, its worth trying.

You may also try

su - solvese -c "cd /solvese/SENTINEL_LM/bin && ./lserv" &
