How to Define a Project and View the Current Project

This example shows how to use the projadd command to add a project entry and the projmod command to alter that entry.

1. Become root or assume an equivalent role.
2. View the default /etc/project file on your system by using projects –l.

   # projects -l
   system
           projid : 0
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   user.root
           projid : 1
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   noproject
           projid : 2
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   default
           projid : 3
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   group.staff
           projid : 10
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)

3. Add a project with the name booksite. Assign the project to a user who is named mark with project ID number 4113.

   # projadd -U mark -p 4113 booksite

4. View the /etc/project file again.

   # projects -l
   system
           projid : 0
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   user.root
           projid : 1
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   noproject
           projid : 2
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   default
           projid : 3
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   group.staff
           projid : 10
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   booksite
           projid : 4113
           comment: ""
           users  : mark
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 

5. Add a comment that describes the project in the comment field.

   # projmod -c `Book Auction Project' booksite

   # projects -l
   system
           projid : 0

           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
