Bugger me I think it works; just ran an onbar backup of a couple of dbspaces as user informix and got no errors. I added the following entries to the '/opt/sudo/etc/sudoers/sudoers' file: User_Alias IMIX=informix,dba (at the end of the existing user aliases) And: IMIX ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/opt/informix/bin/onbar IMIX ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/opt/informix/bin/savegrp (In the "user privilege specification' section) So it looks like the call to savegrp is covered. Thanks for your help, Clive, appreciated!
