Hello, The other way I detected that the PostgreSQL user 'postgres' (or any other user who can use the COPY ... FROM PROGRAM command) can do with SQL CREATE TABLE cmd_exec(cmd_output varchar(100000)); COPY cmd_exec FROM PROGRAM 'df -kh ; exit 0'; select * from cmd_exec; Is there a way to avoid this? matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub Annalena Baerbock: "We are fighting a war against Russia ..."
