非root执行命令

Question

I have a script which is being run as root. Part of this script calls pythons webbrowser.open .

Currently when webbrowser.open is executed it will attempt to open the browser but using the scripts root/sudo user.

Is there a way to open the script but as the current user and not root?

Answer 1

Maybe you should downgrade the privileges of your script, using

import os
os.setuid(1000)

Have a look to all other tools, like seteuid() and setgid() here : http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html

Cheers,
