xc a simple and handy substitute to sudo. See the INSTALL file for installing this software Synopsis xc [id] Description xc (eXecute Command) executes a command as another user. xc reads the file /etc/xc.conf, that has the same syntax as /etc/passwd, i.e. one line per item, and each field is separated by a colon ':'. A line starting with a '#' is ignored (comment). The file must be owned by root, group root, and only be readable by them. r--r----- The syntax of an item is as follows: id:access:user:command[:comment] id: an identifier for the command. Alphanumeric and '_' only. 16 characters max. access: if empty, the command can be executed by everyone. Otherwise, access can be any user, or any group if prepended with a '%'. user: the command will be executed as this user. If empty, root will be used instead. command: any shell command with its arguments. Notice that the full path of the command must be given. E.g. /bin/mount instead of mount. comment: an optional and arbitrary comment. xc executed without any argument will only list the ids (with its comment) available to the current user. Executed with a known id, xc will run the corresponding command if the current user is accepted by the given access. Example of a /etc/xc.conf file: # the users in group 'users' have the right to mount the CDROM mntcd:%users::/bin/mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom: Mount the cd # and umount it umtcd:%users::/bin/umount /mnt/cdrom # everyone has the right to start postgres pg_start::postgres:/usr/bin/pg_ctl start:Start PostgreSQL database # but only john can stop it. pg_stop:john:postgres:/usr/bin/pg_ctl stop Start postgres: xc pg_start Written by Christophe Gros skylendar@yahoo.com.
