[gentoo-user] init script from user

[Ilya Hegai]

Hello, list.
Is it possible to run init script during boot from normal user, but not root?

Thank you.

Thanks.
One more question. Does conf.d/local.start start before net services?

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody
appreciates how difficult it was.

There is a chapter about Gentoo initscripts in the handbook including a 
section about writing your own. start-stop-daemon has support for running a 
daemon as another user through the --user or --chuid switches. If it isn't a 
daemon you can also just use `su $user -c $command`.
