Hello everyone,
Just implemented ferret, acts_as_ferret, and the handy DRb server. I
would like to create a script to automatically start my DRb server when
my system (Ubuntu currently) starts up. I’ve been using the example at
the bottom of the following:
http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer
This works fine (well, until the most recent acts_as_ferret updates,
which forced me to tweak the script a bit), but starts the DRb server as
the root user. Is there some way to start it as another user? For
instance, it would be cool if the ferret_server.yml accepted a “group”
and “user” configuration option similar to how mongrel_cluster does in
mongrel_cluster.yml.
Anyone have a suggestion?
