Continuum

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Affects Version/s: 1.0.2
• Fix Version/s: 1.0.3
• Component/s: Core system
• Labels:

  None
• Environment:

  any unix like OS running continuum as non root user.

When RUN_AS_USER is specified in the run.sh script continuum will not start.

This is caused by a change in the current directory resulting from calling "su - .....".
In the regular (non RUN_AS_USER) case, the current directory is changed to the os specific calling directory "bin/<OS>/".
After calling "su - ..." the current directory is the home directory of the target user.

For fixing the following two possibilities come to mind:

1: change to the correct directory within the command passed to "su"
(See the enclosed patch for bin/linux/run.sh" a similar patch may be applied for solaris and macos)

2. avoid using "su - "
Calling "su" without "-" option will preserve the current environment and not change the current directory.

I personally prefer method '1'. Usually the run user will be a dedicated user for running continuum. Using "-" option will establish a default environment for this user. Theat is easy to be controlled and configured and avoids conflicts with other applications.
