NAME
       attachandrun - attach a filesystem and run a program from it


SYNOPSIS
       attachandrun [--check] locker program argv0 [argv1 ...]


DESCRIPTION
       attachandrun  combines  the  operations of attaching a locker, locating
       its binary directory, and executing a program out  of  that  directory.
       Running  a  program  via  attachandrun should be indistinguishable from
       running it out of its locker by hand.  A  typical  ``attach  and  run''
       script would look like:

           #!/bin/sh
           exec /bin/athena/attachandrun moira blanche "$0" "$@"

       If  you  specify  the  --check  option, attachandrun will check for the
       existence of the binary but not actually run it.  (In  this  case,  you
       don't need to specify any argv elements.) It will exit with status 0 if
       the binary exists, or 1 if it does not. Note  that  a  successful  exit
       status does not necessarily mean that attempting to run the binary will
       succeed: it indicates only that the file exists.
