NAME
suexec - Switch User For Exec
SYNOPSIS
No synopsis for usage, because this program
is used internally by Apache only.
DESCRIPTION
suexec is the "wrapper" support program for the suEXEC behaviour for Apache.
It is run from within Apache automatically to switch the user when
an external program has to be run under a different user. For more
information about suEXEC see the document `Apache suEXEC Support'
under http://www.apache.org/docs/suexec.html .
