Query regarding the upstart script

[G.Venugopal Rao]

Hi Evan,

Thanks for reply. I am able to get it working now with this. But one more
Issue I am facing
Normally from my application I have to launch the default web browser in
user mode. So I am launching it by running the command
** sudo -u <username> xdg-open <Website address>

When I start my daemon with "sudo initctl start <daemon>" The above command
is working fine in ubuntu 11.04 but it is always fails in ubuntu 10.04,
10.10
versions. But I have to get this working for ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 versions
also. I am not sure why this is failing only in this specific versions.

Is there is any bug fix included in 11.04 for this Issue? Is there any
workarround to get it working on older ubuntu version also (10.04, 10.10)?

Please give me some pointers actually I am blocked with this isssue.

Regards
Venugopal
