I do not know Perl, but I am trying to modify an existing cgi script on my webserver. I want to execute "sudo squid -k reconfigure", using this syntax: system ("sudo -k reconfigure); and it works fine as long as I have a default shell for Apache in /etc/passwd. How can I accomplish the same thing without giving Apache a shell? I read through the Camel Book (3rd ed.) but I don't know what a list is (like I said, I'm not handy with Perl), and I don't understand the examples given in the "exec" and "system" descriptions. Can anyone help? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
