Name

runcon - run command with specified security context

Synopsis

runcon \,CONTEXT COMMAND \/[\,args\/] runcon [ \,-c \/] [\,-u USER\/] [\,-r ROLE\/] [\,-t TYPE\/] [\,-l RANGE\/] \,COMMAND \/[\,args\/]

Description

Run COMMAND with completely-specified CONTEXT, or with current or transitioned security context modified by one or more of LEVEL, ROLE, TYPE, and USER.

If none of -c, -t, -u, -r, or -l, is specified, the first argument is used as the complete context. Any additional arguments after COMMAND are interpreted as arguments to the command.

Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to successfully run.

Run a program in a different SELinux security context. With neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND, print the current security context.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

CONTEXT Complete security context

-c, --compute compute process transition context before modifying

-t, --type=\,TYPE\/ type (for same role as parent)

-u, --user=\,USER\/ user identity

-r, --role=\,ROLE\/ role

-l, --range=\,RANGE\/ levelrange

--help display this help and exit

--version output version information and exit
