PROGRAM:

NAME


viewsu - change (virtual) user ID or become (virtual) superuser

SYNOPSIS


viewsu [options] [username]

DESCRIPTION


The viewsu command is used to become another user during a login session. Invoked without
a username, viewsu defaults to becoming the superuser. The optional argument - may be used
to provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in
directly. This command is the View-OS counterpart of the su(1) command. The value of
$PATH is reset to /bin:/usr/bin for normal users, or /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin for the
superuser. This may be changed with the ENV_PATH and ENV_SUPATH definitions in
/etc/login.defs.

OPTIONS


The options which apply to the viewsu command are:

-c, --command COMMAND
Specify a command that will be invoked by the shell using its -c.

-, -l, --login
Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in
directly.

When - is used, it must be specified as the last viewsu option. The other forms (-l
and --login) do not have this restriction.

-s, --shell SHELL
The shell that will be invoked.

The invoked shell is chosen from (highest priority first):

· The shell specified with --shell.

· The shell indicated in the /etc/passwd entry for the target user.

· /bin/sh if a shell could not be found by any above method.
