Syntax
vxgroupadd [--after command]
[--before command] [--vxdb database] [-g
gid [-o]|-r] group
Description
vxgroupadd will create a new group using the supplied
parameters. The configuration file for vxgroupadd is
/etc/vitalnix/groupadd.conf
.
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 |
The numerical group identification number of the
new group. The default is to assign the group the next
greatest GID available. This option overrides
-r . |
-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. |
-r |
Create a system group, that is, with a lower GID
than the hardcoded default (100), or what is specified for
MIN_GID in the autouid configuration file. The
-g option overrides this one. |
