Please make sure your script is made executable only to the owner of the file,
, since you don't really want all the world being able to execute 'rm' command...
Huh? Not sure what you're getting at here. All the world can usually execute the 'rm' command. Whether it's run from a script or an interactive prompt, the user still needs to have the appropriate privilege.
I have created a script that prompts the user to enter three variables that are seperated by a space as the delimiter.
It then performs a command 3 seperate times for each variable entered.
I want the script to llow the user to enter as many variables as they may like and the script to... (5 Replies)

Hi all guys,
how you can read in thread title, I'm deploying a bash script in which I have to export some variables inside it.
But (I think you know) the export command works only inside the script and so, on exit command, the variables aren't set like I set inside the script.
Consequently in... (8 Replies)

Hi all,
I want to dynamically set variables in a bash script. I made a naive attempt in a while loop that hopefully can clarify the idea.
n=0; echo "$lst" | while read p; do n=$(($n+1)); p"$n"="$p"; done
The error message is:
bash: p1=line1: command not found
bash: p2=line2: command... (8 Replies)

setuid
SETUID(1) General Commands Manual SETUID(1)NAME
setuid - run a command with a different uid.
SYNOPSIS
setuid username|uid command [ args ]
DESCRIPTION
Setuid changes user id, then executes the specified command. Unlike some versions of su(1), this program doesn't ever ask for a password
when executed with effective uid=root. This program doesn't change the environment; it only changes the uid and then uses execvp() to find
the command in the path, and execute it. (If the command is a script, execvp() passes the command name to /bin/sh for processing.)
For example,
setuid some_user $SHELL
can be used to start a shell running as another user.
Setuid is useful inside scripts that are being run by a setuid-root user -- such as a script invoked with super, so that the script can
execute some commands using the uid of the original user, instead of root. This allows unsafe commands (such as editors and pagers) to be
used in a non-root mode inside a super script. For example, an operator with permission to modify a certain protected_file could use a
super command that simply does:
cp protected_file temp_file
setuid $ORIG_USER ${EDITOR:-/bin/vi} temp_file
cp temp_file protected_file
(Note: don't use this example directly. If the temp_file can somehow be replaced by another user, as might be the case if it's kept in a
temporary directory, there will be a race condition in the time between editing the temporary file and copying it back to the protected
file.)
