Comment 2 for bug 911207

Suggestion from Clint is to enhance pre- and post- syntax such that the setuid and setgid stanzas can also appear in a pre-post section. If they do, these values are used rather than the "globally" specified setuid/setgid value. For example:

________________________

# this is the "global" value for setuid. If not overriden, all job processes will run as user 'foo'
setuid foo

pre-start setuid bar script

    echo this runs as user 'bar'

end script

post-stop setuid baz exec echo this runs as user 'baz'

exec echo I run as user 'foo'
________________________

This is a very elegant solution to the problem. For now however, it is possible to work around the limitation by creating a separate .conf file to handle the pre/post conditions whilst running as root.
