[06:13] <iamthelostboy> hi.. im using ubuntu 8.04, so upstart 0.3 or there abouts, trying to start an x app using xinit.  If i run the xinit command, it runs, and stays active, though if i run it via upstart, x starts briefly, then it all exists, with upstart reporting (start) running, process ... ; (stop) running ; (stop) stopping ; (stop) killed ....
[06:23] <iamthelostboy> sorry, i figured it out,, i was been daft, running as one user when running the command direct, then root when running upstart
[06:24] <iamthelostboy> is it possible to run an app in an upstart job as a different user?
