Execute Shell Script

PAM script can execute shell script at will. This section guides you on how to execute shell script in PAM.

To execute shell script, you need to use the pam_exec.so module complying to the following pattern:

<ROLE>    <OUTCOME CONDITION>                pam_exec.so seteuid <SHELL INSTRUCTION>

Here are some examples:

auth     [default=ignore]                pam_exec.so seteuid /var/myscript.sh --email

account  [default=ignore]                pam_exec.so seteuid /var/myscript.sh --email

password [default=ignore]                pam_exec.so seteuid /var/myscript.sh --email

That's all for executing shell script in PAM script.
