Subject: Re: [hobbit] Starting client at boot

I use this in my init.d script:

su - hobbit -c "cd /home/hobbit/client; ./runclient.sh start"

I want the client (and eventually server too) to startup on my
monitored 
machines at bootup. Now I can get the process up and running through init.d as user root but not as hobbit. Whats the simplest way to do:

 
su hobbit

/usr/local/hobbit/client/runclient.sh -hostname=xxx

 
At machine boot?

 
Im new to this area of Linux so it's probably very simple and im
missing 
something!
