Hi Folks,
I'd like to use "start-stop-daemon" on my centos-machine. I know , it's debian-like. But I can't find "startproc" on my machine nor in the repos.
What is the CentOS-replacement for "start-stop-daemon"?
Thx
Timothy
P.S. I found a start-stop-daemon.c script - but how to compile it?
gcc start-stop-daemon.c
ends in much errors.

Do you have some more details, e.g. gcc's fall-out (error messages)?

Indeed I am, however I have to say that I don't understand what gcc wants to tell us.
Could you provide the lines 110 to 140 of start-stop-daemon.c?

There's no real equivalent, but the "service" command is the main method of starting/stopping processes/daemons. In itself it doesn't do what the start-stop-daemon does, but the scripts associated with the service utility can be customized to mimic some similar functions.

My goal is:
start a service/daemon using init.d-script with user != root in a correct way.
One solution is using su/sudo - but is that "clean"?

That depends on your reason for not being root to start. Sudo is good if you want to avoid giving the root password to the person in question, or if you want to restrict the commands they can run.

Check /etc/init.d/functions for the declared "deamon()" function and you will spot a correct and clean way to run a service as a user. daemon() can make use of the "runuser" command.

You are not looking for "service", are you?
