Running ActiveMQ as non-root

Running ActiveMQ as non-root with a handy script and a small tweak in conf/log4j.properties: replace log4j.appender.logfile.file=${activemq.base}/data/activemq.log with log4j.appender.logfile.file=${activemq.data}/activemq.log to prevent ActiveMQ from putting the log in the installation folder.

Though I suppose you could also create a new broker instance.

• bash
• java
