Central scheduling adds an interesting twist to this discussion. Using the
DEFINE SCHEDULE or DEFINE CLIENTACTION command with ACTION=COMMAND allows an
ADSM server administrator to run arbitrary commands on any clients using
central scheduling. These commands will run with whatever privilege level the
scheduler process has. This is normally root in Unix environments. I gather
that it is normally a highly privileged ID on other types of client systems.
