You may have a startup script in /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d<br />
<br />
Startup script has the convention of its name starts with S<br />
<br />
You many put in the script the command you want, e.g.<br />
<br />
su - username -c command

I am trying to run a Shell script upon boot on some Solaris 10 Systems but I need the scripts to execute in the backgroud as specific users. Is there a simple way to accomplish this ?

Run a Solaris Shell Script as a startup service using specific user credentials

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
