At boot I want to run a script as uid 501 so that the program starts
with thier variables and permissions etc...

How do I do this?  I figure I need to put something in /etc/rc.local,
but what?

The script will be in the user's (and only the users's) path and is
located at /home/$USER/bin/$SCRIPT, for example...
