I can think of two quick ways to do what you want: First, establish a captive account with the command procedure to do the backups. At the end of the procedure place a logout command. Give the account the necessary privelages and write the procedure so that it cannot be broken out of. This will gie the procedure the needed privelages. Write a small program that uses $creprc to start the process with the needed command procedure and privelages. The program can be installed with the needed privelages. The problem here is there is no interactive input allowed. Hope one of these helps. Hackito, ergo sum.
