NAME
sg - execute command as different group ID
SYNOPSIS
sg [-] [group [-c ] command]
DESCRIPTION
The sg command works similar to newgrp but accepts a command. The command will be executed
with the /bin/sh shell. With most shells you may run sg from, you need to enclose
multi-word commands in quotes. Another difference between newgrp and sg is that some
shells treat newgrp specially, replacing themselves with a new instance of a shell that
newgrp creates. This doesn't happen with sg, so upon exit from a sg command you are
returned to your previous group ID.
