Processes - no option to specify the user credentials explicitly to run a script on Linux

    HI All,

    I have opened an IDEA on this per support, But I was wondering of all the people out there running this "processes" probe, what kind of work around you may have in place  to accomplish this task?

     

    Issue -

    Utilizing the processes probe. There currently no way to restart a process on a Linux/Unix server that is not owned by root. Since UIM robot is installed as root, it cannot start an application that is owned by say appuser.  There needs to be an option to allow the processes probe to specify other user credentials, in order to start this process.

     

    Thanks All
