I am running my Python script using upstart feature of Ubuntu so that if for whatever reason my Python script dies or gets killed, it can be restarted automatically and everything is working fine -
So I decided to use UPSTART feature of Ubuntu to restart the Python script automatically.
After creating the testing.conf file like this in /etc/init/testing.conf -
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]
chdir /tekooz
respawn
post-stop script
sleep 30
end script
exec python testing.py
I ran below sudo command to start it and I can see that process running using ps ax and my python script is also running fine. And when I check the pid of the above process, I always see it is running as root. I don't want to run that as root. Instead I want to run that as deds account
deds@bx13:/$ sudo start testing
testing start/running, process 3635
deds@bx13:/$ ps aux | grep testing
root 3635 2.4 0.1 364136 15660 ? Ssl 12:24 0:00 python testing.py
Is there some other place where I need to put the testing.conf file and then run it with some other command?
I don't want to start my python script by doing sudo as sudo start testing and also I don't want to start as root, I just want to start as deds account. Is there any other way of doing this?
