Hello,
New to Hobbit...
I cannot start hobbit via the service command.  When I try I get the
following error:
I type:  service hobbit start
Error is:
Starting hobbit:  su:/bin/bash permission denied.
 
When I tried to do this manually it works fine.
 
#su - c "/usr/lib/hobbit/service/hobbit.sh start" - hobbit
 
 
Any help is much appreciated
 
Mike
 
 
Here is my /etc/init.d/hobbit.sh file:
