Unicorn::Worker

This class and its members can be considered a stable interface and will not change in a backwards-incompatible fashion between releases of Unicorn. You may need to access it in the before_fork/after_fork hooks. See the Unicorn::Configurator RDoc for examples.

worker objects may be compared to just plain numbers

Changes the worker process to the specified user and group This is only intended to be called from within the worker process from the after_fork hook. This should be called in the after_fork hook after any priviledged functions need to be run (e.g. to set per-worker CPU affinity, niceness, etc)

Any and all errors raised within this method will be propagated directly back to the caller (usually the after_fork hook. These errors commonly include ArgumentError for specifying an invalid user/group and Errno::EPERM for insufficient priviledges

# File lib/unicorn/worker.rb, line 24
def user(user, group = nil)
  # we do not protect the caller, checking Process.euid == 0 is
  # insufficient because modern systems have fine-grained
  # capabilities.  Let the caller handle any and all errors.
  uid = Etc.getpwnam(user).uid
  gid = Etc.getgrnam(group).gid if group
  Unicorn::Util.chown_logs(uid, gid)
  tmp.chown(uid, gid)
  if gid && Process.egid != gid
    Process.initgroups(user, gid)
    Process::GID.change_privilege(gid)
  end
  Process.euid != uid and Process::UID.change_privilege(uid)
  self.switched = true
end
