session applications runing as root when startup

[SoonSoon]

Not sure if this is a bug

but i am wondering , for application that are ran using the auto start function in session, why are they under root than user?

i wrote a simple script file

ls -l /dev/ttyS* > /home/user/Desktop/Session_ttyS_.txt
who > /home/user/Desktop/Session_Who.txt

the owner ship for the file generated is always root in 8.10

I ran the same script in 7.04, the file is own by user.

is there any why to make the application start in User ?

Cannot confirm this, my "autostart sessions" start under my user name.

i got a empty file own by root when i try it on 8.10. is it the same for you?

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Don't know what you mean by empty file, I just checked the ownership in the system monitor and everything looks fine on my system.

[SoonSoon (l030010)]

I try the script again, the result is the same.

the following is the screen shot of the results, the file created are on by root rather than user.

please advice

Can you paste the mod of your session.sh? It should look something like

-rwx------ 1 user user 103 2008-12-19 01:27 session.sh

maybe session.sh is owned by root or is only root-executable (070 instead of 700).

[SoonSoon (l030010)]

here you go.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 87 2008-12-19 11:42 session.sh

[SoonSoon (l030010)]

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 87 2008-12-19 11:42 session.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 224 2008-12-19 18:41 S_Serial.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-12-19 18:41 S_who.txt

Hi Soon, I actually tried exactly your setup and I cannot reproduce, the files always owned by user, even if I
chmod 755 session.sh (which gives your mods), and I have 8.10.

Maybe check again your exact command in the "Sessions" by which you start session.sh. Is it a root command?

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

What happens if you delete the two root files and run

"sh session.sh" ? (Without Autostart, simply type in konsole.)

Are the produced files then root or user?

[SoonSoon (l030010)]

if i were to that in user, both files are own by user.

what can be wrong.

Can you attach a screenshot of the properties for the session.sh entry in Sessions Preferences?
