vitalnix user management suite 3.2.0


Name

vxgroupmod -- Modify a group

Syntax

vxgroupmod [--after command] [--before command] [--vxdb database] [-g gid [-o]] [-n group_name] group

Description

vxgroupmod updates the group's info with the data given on the command line. Not specified options will not change the corresponding fields in the database. The configuration file for vxgroupmod is /etc/vitalnix/groupmod.conf.

Note that after changing the GID of a group, there might be objects left in the filesystem which you should pay attention to with respect to the GID owner. A future group may get the original GID and get accidental access to files.

Options

--after command Runs the specified command after the group was successfully added. If --after is given, but with a zero-length command string, the default command in the configuration file is not run.
--before command Runs the specified command before the group is added. It is run always, even if adding fails. If --before is given, but with a zero-length command string, the default command in the configuration file is not run.
--vxdb database Uses the specified database rather than the default one listed in the VXDB configuration file.
-g gid Changes the group's identification number. It must be unique, unless -o is given.
-n name Changes the group's name, which must be unique.
-o If a group with the explicit GID given by -g already exists, you can override the error message with this option, to create non-unique GIDs.
