boot script executed in specific user environment

Hello,

Im trying to load a background process from a boot script that I have in /etc/init.d/script

The case is that I need this process to run on the environment of a specific user. Any ideas of how can I perform this?

I use debian.

Thanks for your help,
Carlos.

Use something like 'su -c /path/to/binary username' in your initscripts case "start" statement.
