I should remember this, but have forgotten what user executes the startup scripts. Can I specify a user that should be executing a particular script? Thanks...

    basicly root user runs all the scripts in /etc/rc.d, but if you want to run a script as someone else you can try the following
    Code:
    su username -c 'command or script name'
    hope it helps
