20120030272 | Uploading and Executing Command Line Scripts - A mechanism is provided for a non-root-level user to execute command line script files via a generic command line interface. A command line interface in the data processing system receives a shellscript command from a non-root-level user via a client system. A security module in the data processing system determines whether the non-root-level user is logged on at a command line interface shell level access. Responsive to the non-root-level user being logged on at the command line interface shell level access, a storage controller at the request of a command line interface identifies a script file associated the shellscript command in a storage of the data processing system. The storage controller executes the script file and the command line interface sends the results of the execution of the script file to the non-root-level user via the client system. | 02-02-2012 |
