List Permissive Domains Linux

Use 'sudo semanage permissive -l' to list all permissive domains in SELinux on Linux systems.

Terminal

sudo semanage permissive -l

sudo semanage permissive -l

#!/bin/bash

# List Permissive Domains Linux
sudo semanage permissive {{[-l|--list]}}

import subprocess

# List Permissive Domains Linux
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values
def run_command():
    cmd = [
        "semanage",
        "semanage",
        "permissive",
        "-l"
    ]
    
    try:
        print(f"Executing: {' '.join(cmd)}")
        subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
    except FileNotFoundError:
        print("Error: semanage not found. Please install it first.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_command()
