I run mine from rc.local
simply setuid circle to your own username so even though rc.local fires
it up as root, it runs as you
chmod 4744 circle
Voila, circle runs as its owner, no matter who invokes it.
The one tricky part is that autorun 'touches' syslog files though so root
would keep ending up getting your syslog files, but as they are in your
directory... you can mv,cp,delete them and override
