[gentoo-user] program autostart from another user

Hi,

I want to auto start some programs on startup, using init
My local.start looks like:
sudo -u user_name screen program

My question is - is it the right way?
How can I attach next program to existing screen session (by creating new 
buffer in screen session)?

Thanks

Maybe this doesn't exactly meet your needs but, have you tried to add 
those program to ~/.bashrc? That way the program will be executed for 
your user.

I need startup program without user be logged in.

You don't have to use screen, but that should work.

Reading over the manpage, something like this (but "sudo -u"d) should work:
# Create a new screen session, detached, with name
screen -d -m -S system-autostart-foo
# In a named window in that session, run bar
screen -S system-autostart-foo -X at cmd-bar# bar
# In a named window in that session, run baz
screen -S system-autostart-foo -X at cmd-baz# baz

But, I've never tried to use screen in this way, no this is just a guess.  I'm 
sure it's possible to use screen the way you want.

I see... Just curious, why would you need a program to be executed by a 
user who isn't logged in? The only reason I can imagine is a daemon, 
server o similar; in that case I'd use start-stop-daemon.

Yes, this is a server :).

Use the start-stop-daemon like he suggested.

So write a start-stop-script for /etc/init.d and add it to your runlevel. 
Anything else is a dirty hack.

No, the suggestion is to use start-stop-daemon instead of sudo. man
start-stop-daemon for more information.

You will still have to call start-stop-daemon from an init script for both
starting and stopping. Either use local.[start|stop] or roll your own init
script, using any existing init script as a template.
