Bug Description

I would like to replace several daemon scripts with upstart, but I dislike having to "su -c" for all of them. I would prefer it if upstart had a 'user' and 'group' field in the conf file. Script blocks would be executed using that user/group. Since my script blocks may have multiple commands using that user/group, it would be extremely beneficial.
