+### USAGE BY ROOT

+In general it's a good advice to only perform commands as root when it is strictly necessary. To be able to send
+the output from commands, that need to be performed as root, with go-sendxmpp without invoking go-sendxmpp by
+root sudo can be used.
+
+In this example there is a user **sendxmpp** with a go-sendxmpp config in it's `$HOME`:

+```
