Scott,

I always like runmenu to execute as filepro on unix.  For the following reason.

All I/O stuff and System stuff that they might need to run, can be setup so 
filePro has the right permissions to execute.  FilePro can read a file, filepro 
will write a file, etc.

I always had issues with Mary running an export and then Susan could not read 
it.  Stuff like that.  It drove me nuts.  Now when Mary writes a file, filepro 
owns it. And when Susan needs to read it she can because filepro can.

That is my humble opinion.

Nancy
