spexec - run commands for macros
spexec options
Spexec runs commands for macros under the identity of the invoking
user. This is required because gspl-pq(1) gspl-xpq(1) gspl-xmpq(1) are set-user
programs (to other than root
) and there is an inherent security
breach in many versions of Unix in that such programs cannot divest
themselves of traces of the set-user user id.
This program is only intended for internal use and is not further documented.
