One could think about creating a volume solely containing this binary with an
ACL giving this one user the right to solely execute the binary.
Then you could tell by
vos examine -id <volume name or ID> [-extended ]
whether he or she actually executed the binary. However, without the right to
list the directory, the user won't be able to execute it - and vos doesn't
differentiate whether a binary has been listed or executed. But if you simply
want to know whether he or she used this volume, this approach should work.
If you want to tell, whether one out of a group of users has executed the
binary, I see no chance on the AFS level.
If you are thinking about license metering the next problem may be that once
the file is cached by the afs client machine, a second call of the binary will
generate no further access to the volume as shown by vos exa.
I suppose this was not very helpful, maybe I missed somthing.
