Hi.

I want to Wowza service to start / stop from non-root account to a security problem.

The OS is Ubuntu 12.04 version.

I’ve also found this part, if you run a service as non-root account

/ var / run / WowzaStreamingEngine ': Permission denied The only message occurs.

Is there Wowza service can be controlled by a non-root account?

Thanks.

But after using this method to get off the ‘service WowzaStreaming Engine start’ command in the non-root account appears as follows and does not work.

WowzaStreamingEngine stopped

WowzaStreamingEngine: starting …

touch: can not touch `/ var / run / WowzaStreamingEngine ': Permission denied

Please help me to know the way to start / stop the Wowza service under non-root account.
