NOTE: The following is a set of guidelines on how to secure a Spring Boot application that runs as an init.d service.
It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of everything that should be done to harden an application and the environment in which it runs.
When executed as root, as is the case when root is being used to start an init.d service, the default executable script runs the application as the user who owns the jar file.
You should never run a Spring Boot application as `root`, so your application's jar file should never be owned by root.
Instead, create a specific user to run your application and use `chown` to make it the owner of the jar file, as shown in the following example:
When executed as root, as is the case when root is being used to start an init.d service, the default executable script runs the application as the user specified in the `RUN_AS_USER` environment variable.
When the environment variable is not set, the user who owns the jar file is used instead.
You should never run a Spring Boot application as `root`, so `RUN_AS_USER` should never be root and your application's jar file should never be owned by root.

The default depends on the way the jar was built but is usually `auto` (meaning it tries to guess if it is an init script by checking if it is a symlink in a directory called `init.d`).
You can explicitly set it to `service` so that the `stop\|start\|status\|restart` commands work or to `run` if you want to run the script in the foreground.
| `RUN_AS_USER`
| The user that will be used to run the application.
When not set, the user that owns the jar file will be used.
| `USE_START_STOP_DAEMON`
| Whether the `start-stop-daemon` command, when it's available, should be used to control the process.
Defaults to `true`.
