I think you are missing the point. Provided you are running a tryton-server and
a gnuhealth-server under different users on the same machine, it will be
painful (read: impossible AFAIK) to run a unoconv service for both of them or
for each of them.

Done. I don't think the current way is the best way to do it. I still can't see
the added value in using an additional system user compared to the
complications it can cause.
