How to make uTorrent run with different user than root

  • Long story short. I like uTorrent since it works with Headphones and it allows torrent proxy services such as torguard.


    I followed the instructions below and everything works great. uTorrent starts on boot and it plays well with OMV. The only thing i am having a hell of a time with (because i am a Linux noob) is getting uTorrent to start as 'uTorrent' user or even 'headphones' users. It starts as root, and i do not like that at all.


    Below are the instructions that i followed:

    I believe this is the startup script


    http://droidzone.in/utstart


    Please assist so its not using root anymore. Let me know if you need any more information from my build.

  • thank you for your quick reply. the utstart script from 'droidzone.in/utstart' is the same file thats in the /etc/init.d/.


    Code
    root@OpenMediaVault:/etc/init.d# diff utstart /opt/utstart 
    root@OpenMediaVault:/etc/init.d#


    I tried modifying the /etc/init.d/utstart file by adding the following, but it didnt seem to work...


    1.) mv /root/utorrent/ /opt/utorrent.
    2.) chown headphones:users /opt/utorrent
    3.) chmod -R 775 /opt/utorrent
    4.) modified utstart script in the following places (line 11-18, line45). I feel like i need to modify the 'start)' section (line 47) with "sudo -u $RUN_AS" or some how point the start section of the script to the $RUN_AS user.
