NAME

       um_fsalias - define a file system type alias

SYNOPSIS

       um_fsalias fsalias [ full_filesystem_type ]

DESCRIPTION

       This command is used to define a short alias for a full qualified view-os file system type.

       For example
       um_fsalias ext2 umfuseext2
       defines ext2 as a short alias for umfuseext2. ext2 can then be used in a mount command instead of the full name umfuseext2.

       Further	definitions  of the same alias re-define the alias by overwriting previous mappings.  If full_filesystem_type is omitted, the com-
       mand deletes any previous definition of the alias.

NAME

       viewsudo - execute a command as another (virtual) user

SYNOPSIS

       viewsudo [-g groupname|#gid] [-u username|#uid] command

DESCRIPTION

       viewsudo allows a user to execute a command as the superuser or
	      another user in View-OS.

OPTIONS

       viewsudo accepts the following command line options:

       -g group
	   Normally,  viewsudo	sets the primary group to root.  The -g option causes sudo to run the specified command with the primary group set
	   to group.  To specify a gid instead of a group name, use #gid.  When running commands as a gid, many shells require	that  the  '#'	be
	   escaped  with  a  backslash	('[u2019]).   If  no -u option is specified, the command will be run as the invoking user (not root).	In
	   either case, the primary group will be set to group.

       -u user
	   The -u option causes viewsudo to run the specified command as a user other than root.  To specify a uid instead of  a  user	name,  use
	   #uid.  When running commands as a uid, many shells require that the '#' be escaped with a backslash ('[u2019]).

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful execution of a program, the exit status from viewsudo will simply be the exit status of the program that was executed.
