Change a users primary group after login
When users login, they are directed to menu (aix script). The menu enables the user to choose an environment to work in. Each environment has a different group id. When a user chooses a menu option, I want to change his primary group to that specific environment's group id. Is this at all possible ?
Thanx

NAME
install-menu - Process a menu method and generate the menu files for a window manager or a menu-aware application.
DESCRIPTION
update-menus(1) computes the list of menu entries and passes it in turn to the menu methods in /etc/menu-methods/. The task of a menu meth-
ods is to generate menus for a specific window manager. install-menu provides a generic and customizable way to do that. The documentation
of the install-menu definition language is available in the Debian Menu manual, a local copy being available in /usr/share/doc/menu/html.
SYNOPSIS
install-menu [-vh] [--remove] <menu-method>

Normally used in menu method scripts as #! /usr/bin/install-menu.
OPTIONS
-h,--help

--remove
Remove the menu files instead of generating them.
-v,--verbose
