• Command

Command

This executable can run non-interactive system commands.

• Comment

  The program is picky about the file ownership, and waits for some input.

  Unprivileged

  This function can be performed by any unprivileged user.

  echo -e ':0\n| /path/to/command >/path/to/temp-file
  procmail -m /path/to/temp-file

  Sudo

  This function is performed by the privileged user if executed via sudo because the acquired privileges are not dropped.

  Remarks

  If there are environment variables involved, they must be passed via sudo VAR=value ... or exported then sudo -E ....

  echo -e ':0\n| /path/to/command >/path/to/temp-file
  procmail -m /path/to/temp-file
