Title: Running 2 different aMules with 2 different configs
Post by: Skuromis on March 05, 2005, 08:59:51 AM

Hi All!
I want to run two different aMules, not necessarily at the same time, but with two different configs. I already installed 2 amules, one in my home directory with also different wxGTK, but this 2nd aMule uses the configurations of my first aMule. So I tried to run the second amule via 'su anotheruser', but this didn't work, it causes trouble with the Xserver. It might work, if I start the Xserver as 'anotheruser' only, but that is, what I _don't_ want.
So has anybody an idea, how to change maybe the path of one aMule's config?
Thank you, Skuro.

sure

do as the user who runs the x-server
xhost +

this will allow any x-application to connect to the running x-server

and then you can start your 2nd amule running with a different user without problem. i do that here aswell ;)
