how to start services as another user

[Brian J. Murrell]

I was attempting to write an upstart script for mythtv-frontend and came
to the point where it wants to run as a different user.  Is there any
way to do this with an upstart directive and then "exec" rather than
writing a "script" that uses su - mythtv -c "mythfrontend ..."?

Given the ability to set rlimits, do chroot and chdir, etc, a "uid"
command seems suspiciously absent.
