How to set the prozess owner?

I have script under /etc/init.d call jboss.sh

When I start this script under a user (assumed 'tester'), it's prozess owner is 'tester'. But when I start this script under root. It's owner is 'root'.

How can I set the owner of this script to 'tester', no matter where it's started?

if you've an init script that needs to start a daemon as a different user, run it from su, e.g.:

su -u tester -c /bin/what/ever

the script should always still be run as root.
