User for startupitem.executable

[Ken Cunningham]

Here's a snippet from another port that might help:

startupitem.create      yes
startupitem.netchange   yes
if {[getuid] == 0} {
    startupitem.executable  ${prefix}/sbin/asterisk -d -U asterisk -G asterisk
} else {
    startupitem.executable  ${prefix}/sbin/asterisk -d
}

and there is a discussion in the mailing list about this from years gone by  the might be worth reading if that doesn't happen:

Hope this helps.
