I'm writing a script to be run from cron that needs to execute a command with effective group ID different from my login group. How would I change effective GID in a shell script? Linux has sg(1) command for this purpose. I couldn't find newgrp command, either. Many thanks, -- Arcady Genkin Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
