Changing process id after starting

Hi

We are in the situation where we want to start WebSphere using teh default SSL port of 443. In order to do this we can changed the WAS ssl port from 9443 to 443 and start as root. We would prefer not to start as root but the restriction of using ports < 1024 comes into play. We could install a http server and use that to talk to WebSphere but we are wondering if theer is a way of starting WAS as root and then dropping the owner of a running process. Looks like there are some options on Linux but we are struggling to find something on AIX

Thanks

Chris

You cannot force a different program to become a different user ID. The program has to do that itself.

Thanks everyone. This is what we expected.
