Hi..

I want to use this CLT in my ipl file.
This ipl is run by a non-os user which cant run "mkdir" command.
I am using unix.

There is not a CLT you can use. There is a perl module that you can use. I use this in my generate content script that runs in the workflow.

True but then dip21's User would have to run some perl script. Without proper process' effective UID credentials Perl will die on mkpath just as well.

To be sure, there are many ways in UNIX to allow this sort of things ( like "Run As" Flag and so on ) but that means using Id's with mkdir
priviliges anyway, directly or otherwise.

Yea, depends on what his use case is. Originally I had that caveat, but as I thought about it, he said they do not have shell access (non-os user) so that implies they *might* have permission to add a dir, just can't get to a shell to do it.

The only use case I have had is in the autonaming/directory creation of templates and generation of output from templates.

Please elaborate on the term "non-os user".

Is this a user who does not have an entry in /etc/passwd, or a user who has an entry with the shell set to /bin/false (or similar) so that they are not allowed to login directly to the box?
