| Erni - A tool that replaces 'su -c' to run programs as nonroot users.Updated by BrandXDev on Thursday, June 10th 2004.Root typically runs "su {user} -c {command}" to execute a command as a nonroot user (e.g. start a daemon at boot). For this to work, {user} must have a valid login shell. Erni lets you bypass the call to "su," disable {user}'s login shell, (optionally) chroot the command, and attach group memberships at runtime. This means {user} can become a pure placeholder account to own files and run daemons. Licence : Open Source
Version : 0.50.0 [Development]
Release Notes : Erni can now fork() the specified command to run it as a daemon, and compensate for init scripts that hog the console. This release also uses a new trace subsystem, and features several code cleanups.
Platforms : Linux,Solaris
Requirements : C compiler
