Here's the situation; I have a program that needs to run at system
startup, but there are a few issues with that. First, it must be run
with a certain directory as the working directory. Second it must be run
as the user 'Fox'

I'm no expert, but how about using cron and crontab for user fox? Use
"@reboot' for the start time.

man cron
man crontab

Good luck!
