Configure the Job Manager daemon user

By default, the Job Manager runs as an unprivileged local system user called amijm. You can change this if you have a preferred user that you want the Job manager to run as.

The Job Manager user must have read/write access to the /var/run/amijm directory to record its process ID.

Use the supplied /opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami2014/sbin/reconfigure shell script to change the Job Manager user. The syntax is:

/opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami2014/sbin/reconfigure MFSYN_JMUSER=[username]

where [username] is the user that will run the Job Manager (it may be root). Do not type the brackets.

Note: Spacing is important; there must be no spaces around the = sign.

Example: You already have a user 'jobuser' that you want the Job Manager to run as.

# chown jobuser /var/run/Autodesk/ami2014jm
# /opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami2014/sbin/reconfigure MFSYN_JMUSER=jobuser

Fastpath: You can edit the file /etc/opt/Autodesk/ami2014 by hand instead of using the reconfigure shell script. The format is the same as the argument to the script.
