Hello,

I have looked at my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and realized that the symlink
I put there has the root as owner. It all works but I would rather use
a non-root user for to run that script.

$ ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    40 May  9  2007 sender.sh ->
/usr/home/api/sender/start.sh

So I tried:
$ sudo chown api /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sender.sh

No error but no change either. The original start.sh file has user api
but the symlink is owned by root.

How can I make sure that the file is indeed run as user api?

Thanks!
