Full Discussion: List of AIX commands that can be run by ROOT user ONLY
Operating Systems AIX List of AIX commands that can be run by ROOT user ONLY Post 302783021 by dukessd on Tuesday 19th of March 2013 08:04:24 PM

Isn't that a bit like asking who can drive my car?

It depends on who you have given the keys too, or if you are out and left the keys at home, or work, who knows which drawer you keep them in, and who has access to your home or office...

Who can, or has, changed the permissions on any file or directory...

Who has access to the system and what permissions they might have to enable then to gain access...

The list is endless depending on your configuration...

If you are asking from a default AIX install perspective then it will probably also depend on the exact level, what is installed, who or what has access via various different methods - Tivoli Access Manager, HMC commands via RMC, Etc.

I don't think you'll ever find a definitive list.

install-xpi

INSTALL-XPI(1)						     mozilla-devscripts suite						    INSTALL-XPI(1)

NAME

       install-xpi - installs a xpi file into a Debian package

SYNOPSIS

       install-xpi [options] xpi-file

DESCRIPTION

       install-xpi  is	a  helper  tool  for  packaging  XUL extensions. It installs the given xpi file into the correct directory and creates the
       required links based on the data in the install.rdf file.  It corrects the file permissions unless --preserve-permissions is specified.

       install-xpi will create a configuration file in /etc if the XUL extension provides one or more preferences files  in  defaults/preferences.
       The  configuration  file contains only a description where to find the overridable preferences.	debian/package.js is used as configuration
       file instead if it exists. The placeholder @INSTALLDIR@ is replaces by the actual installation directory. You can disable the creation of a
       system configuration file with --disable-system-prefs.

OPTIONS

       --disable-system-prefs
	      Do not create a system preference file in /etc.

       -x file, --exclude=file
	      The specified file from the xpi file will not be installed. You can use this parameter several times.

       -h, --help
	      Display a brief help message.

       -i directory, --install-dir=directory
	      The xpi file will be installed in the specified directory.  directory must be an absolute path. Use this parameter with care.

       -l directory, --link=directory
	      An  additional  link  from  the directory to the installation directory of the extension will be created. You can use this parameter
	      several times.

       -p package, --package=package
	      The xpi file will be installed in the specified binary package. If this parameter is not provided, the first binary  package  listed
	      in debian/control will be used.

       --preserve-permissions
	      The  permissions	of the files in the xpi file will not be modified. If this parameter is not provided, install-xpi will try to cor-
	      rect the permissions of the files to 644 (files that starts with a shebang will be corrected to 755).

       -r, --remove-license-files
	      Files with names like copying, licence, or license will not be installed.

       -v, --verbose
	      Print more information.
