NAME

spexec - run commands for macros


SYNOPSIS

spexec options


DESCRIPTION

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.
