Running OpenFire as a different user

Question

I have a Ubuntu 10.4 system on which I'm running OpenFire but it currently runs as root. How can I make Openfire run as a different user?

Thanks

Answer 1

I restart openfire nightly with a cron, so you should also be able to use this:

sudo -u other_username /home/openfire/bin/openfire start

Answer 2

Not completely sure about OpenFire, however something like su user openfire should work.
