Why would you want this?  The whole reason they changed to appserver  
is so that it would NOT run as root.  There is no reason for  
JavaMonitor and wotaskd to run as root.  You're just opening up  
yourself to attacks.  A better solution is to make sure all the  
correct permissions (for appserver) are set on any resources you need  
to access.
