Why is it required to run the agent process as root on UNIX/Linux?
Release : ALL
Component : AutoSys Workload Automation Agent
It is technically not required to run the agent process as root. However, starting the agent as root enables you to run jobs under different user accounts. If you start the agent with an account other than root, the agent cannot switch users. You cannot run jobs under different user accounts when the agent is not running under root.
