Hi Andy,

I'm getting this on the logs by a plugout and plugin.

The problems is my scripts is not getting started, when I do this as 
root my script is getting started. I already tried to change the rights 
and the owner of the script and of the directories but nothing worked.
I tried to make a new user with root rights but, it didn’t work.
It would solve all my problems if I could auto login with root but this 
isn’t working either.

What else could I do?

Thank You.
