Re: [PHP] excuting a shell command in linux as root

[Marek Kilimajer]

It is questionable if it is really insecure. sudo allows great control 
over what commands it can run with what parameters. If you combine it 
with php input checks it gets pretty secure. But that means you HAVE TO 
know what you are doing.

Now that my butts covered you might want to take a look at sudo

Hi,

Is there any way to execute a shell command line in PHP as root? I want to
execute it using a web browser, i'm using apache and it runs as nobody.
Any idea/help/suggestions? Thanks in advance
