.SH "NAME"

sg \- execute command as different group ID

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
|
.HP \w'\fBsg\fR\ 'u
|
|
\fBsg\fR [\-] [group\ [\-c\ ]\ command]
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
\fBsg\fR
|
|
command works similar to
|
|
\fBnewgrp\fR
|
|
but accepts a command\&. The command will be executed with the
|
|
/bin/sh
|
|
shell\&. With most shells you may run
|
|
\fBsg\fR
|
|
from, you need to enclose multi\-word commands in quotes\&. Another difference between
|
|
\fBnewgrp\fR
|
|
and
|
|
\fBsg\fR
|
|
is that some shells treat
|
|
\fBnewgrp\fR
|
|
specially, replacing themselves with a new instance of a shell that
|
|
\fBnewgrp\fR
|
|
creates\&. This doesn\*(Aqt happen with
|
|
\fBsg\fR, so upon exit from a
|
|
\fBsg\fR
|
|
command you are returned to your previous group ID\&.
