VIEW-OS(1) General Commands Manual VIEW-OS(1)
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.
