It seems to me that running as root then changing user ID's has potential for
creating unnecessary bugs or security holes. Running as root just to bypass a
file security problem is a bad idea in my opinion. The script doesn't even need
to write to /var/run. It only needs access to /var/run/koha, which can be owned
by apache.
I don't know the various tradeoffs, but potentially the script could be run as
something other than root or apache, such as daemon.
And just to reiterate, the whole issue of /var/log or /var/run is
Linux-specific, and doesn't apply directly to other Unix flavors. Leave the
OS-specific items, including file ownership issues, in the shell scripts.
The processz3950queue script itself should be as simple as possible.
