Hallo,

I've got a problem with command procedures. Is there a possibility to give
several specific priviliges to a command procedure which are only active
when the command procedure is executed ? 
This problem occurs, when someone of our chair makes backups for me, he al-
ways needs the password of the system manager and has automatically access
to all features of the MicroVax system. 
Therefor I'd prefer to give the priviliges needed for this task to a com-
mand procedure instead of telling the password. 
As far as I know this way of putting priviliges to procedures is possible
for program modules using the concept of the shared images. Can something
like this done for command procedures as well ?

Thanks

Sanjay
