How to change OS user

The following instruction is applicable when you need to change an OS user, for example, from workfusion to workfusionnew belonging to workfusionnew_GROUP.

To change an OS user, act as follows:

1. As the workfusion user, run the following command:

   $ wfmanager stop all
   

2. As a root user, kill all processes that run from the installation directory:

   $ ps -ef | grep /opt/workfusion
   
   $ kill -9 <PID>
   

3. Add a new user to /etc/cron.allow:

   $ sudo cat <<EOF >> /etc/cron.allow
   workfusionnew
   EOF
   

4. In config.yml, change the following lines:

   wf_user: workfusionnew
   wf_group: workfusionnew_GROUP
   

5. Run the preinstall script:

   ./install preinstall $ROLE_NAME #app,db, and so on
   

6. Change all permissions to the install directory for the workfusionnew user:

   $  chown -R workfusionnew :workfusionnew_GROUP  /opt/workfusion
   

7. Restart the server:

   $ sudo reboot
   

8. After the restart, check the running process as the workfusionnew user:

   wfmanager status all
