DESCRIPTION
The pfexec program is used to execute commands with the attributes
specified by the user's profiles in the exec_attr(4) database. It is
invoked by the profile shells, pfsh, pfcsh, and pfksh which are linked
to the Bourne shell, C shell, and Korn shell, respectively.
Profiles are searched in the order specified in the user's entry in the
user_attr(4) database. If the same command appears in more than one
profile, the profile shell uses the first matching entry.
The second form, pfexec-P privspec, allows a user to obtain the addi‐
tional privileges awarded to the user's profiles in prof_attr(4). The
privileges specification on the commands line is parsed using
priv_str_to_set(3C). The resulting privileges are intersected with the
union of the privileges specified using the "privs" keyword in
prof_attr(4) for all the user's profiles and added to the inheritable
set before executing the command.
USAGEpfexec is used to execute commands with predefined process attributes,
such as specific user or group IDs.
Refer to the sh(1), csh(1), and ksh(1) man pages for complete usage
descriptions of the profile shells.
