Re: Scripts run as a specific user.

I am looking for a script to run a s specific user to get fopen("filename", "w"); to work. I cannot create a file in a certain directory because user nobody does not have access to that directory. When you say stand alone app, what does that mean? How would I get Apache to use it then? Will that hinder the performance of Apache? Thank you all for you help, I really do apretiate the quick response I get from this list :-) Thanks, ----- Original Message ----- From: Angelko Krstanovic <angelko@saw.net> To: Timothy A.
