Hello,
everytime I try to start alfred 2014.3.0 using a dedicated non-root user
it fails with: can't bind unix socket: Address already in use
Running as root is successful. Is it possible to start alfred as non-root?
Thanks,
Jan

You are most probably having another alfred instance already running?
Otherwise you should get "permission denied" or something.
In any case, even if you have the sufficient rights, alfred also needs to bind
to the interface which is only possible as superuser. We currently don't
support running alfred as non-root. If someone is interested in that and know
how to support that while maintaining all current features, I'd be looking
forward to patches. :)
Cheers,
Simon
