This command is related to user and group management. The newgrp command is similar to the login command in that it allows you to log in to another group with the same account. You can use the exit command to return to the original group.
Here's an operational example:| $ groups ←# List the groups the user is a member of frank marketing ←The effective group is currently "frank" (listed first) $ newgrp marketing ←Log in to the "marketing" group $ groups ←Verify if you have logged in to the new group marketing frank ←The effective group is now "marketing" $ exit ←Return to the original group $ groups ←Verify the groups again frank marketing |
