Hi, U could use sudo ?
Excerpt from http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/ --- Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while logging the commands and arguments. --- and run it with a cgi or php or whatever.
