Run Dropbox as a service on Fedora 15
- by Varun Madiath
I installed the dropbox using the text based install method described here. However I'd now like dropbox to start automatically when the machine starts up, and start syncing the files. I'll need dropbox to run as the dropbox user, from the dropbox users home directory.
I think the following command will launch dropbox as the dropbox user, in the dropbox users home directory, would you correct me if this doesn't work?
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sudo -H -u dropbox ./.dropbox-dist/dropbox end script
