runutmpuser

Description

Type string READ/WRITE

runutmpuser specifies the login name of the user that will be used when updating the UNIX utmp and wtmp files when the request runs.

This variable also controls the login user name during a pmrun session, which is returned by the logname command or the getlogin system function.

If unset, it will default to the runuser variable.

TIP: If you want your site to have a more sudo-like behavior where the login user and the utmp entry contain the request user, add the following line to the policy:

runutmpuser=requestuser;

subprocuser

Description

Type string READ/WRITE

subprocuser is the user name used to run any subprocesses of pmmasterd such as, when running the system function. The default value is "root".

Example
subprocuser="appl_user"; 
cfile=system("find /home/applhome -name customprofile.txt"); 
if (status == 0) 
{ 
   print(readfile(cfile)); 
}

tmplogdir

Description

Type integer READ/WRITE

tmplogdir is the directory used for temporary storage of I/O log files if a remote log host is specified in iologhost. The default value is /opt/quest/qpm4u/iologs/queue.

Example
iologhost="sol34.test.com"; 
tmplogdir="/var/iologs/queue"; 
   iolog = mktemp("/var/adm/pm.enc."+user+"."+command+".XXXXXX"); 
}

Global event log variables

The following predefined global variables appear only in the audit (event) log. They are not available for use in the policy file, as they are set by pmlocald during the runcommand session. Use pmlog to view them.
