Terminal - Run as user

[101hey101]

I was recently trying to start a couple of programs from terminal in the iOS app when I noticed they failed to run. It took me awhile to realize that terminal runs as the system user. That is probably fine for most peoples needs, but I would love for the ability to run terminal as a user on the computers I manage. That way I can restart certain programs if they crash or any number of things. If there already is a way to do this, then I would love to know. If there isn't then is there a way you guys could add support for it, or would it be better for me to try and make a plugin?

You could do the following:

 

• Create a scheduled task that you configure it to run manually (no schedule) and to impersonate a user then you can execute the scheduled task on demand from PC Monitor
• You can create a plugin that can execute processes as a user (sample: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/782-create-plugin-in-visual-studio-vb/#entry3264)

I think I may try and go the plugin route as theres another plugin I want to implement for my altcoin mining rig to monitor it. So This would help me dive into that a bit. Thanks!

Most plugins are open source (at least mine), feel free to reuse any code you may find on these forums.

Also there are some plugin examples and documentation available here: http://www.pulseway.com/api
