[NMLUG] Debian Startup Script
There's several options, you can run it from cron as the user you could also
use su to do that.
su - jamesh -c /usr/local/bin/someprog
Or you could make the binary setuid like:
chown username program
chmod 4700 program
Now when root runs 'program' it should execute as 'username'.
Setuid binaries should be used with caution (especially root suid's). Anyone
that runs a suid binary runs it as the uid of the owner. So make sure you've
got the write perms if you use one.

The original script worked once I commented out the redhat functions line (line 20??). It was ugly and spewed error messages but it worked. Here's what I have so far in my conversion process......it doesn't work. ...sigh...
