Hello,
I have found the right thing for starting the service
using cgi.
There is a software called super
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/super-3.12.1-1.i386.rpm
Install this and configure the same.
Put relevent entries in /etc/super.tab
Your script will run with full root privileges.

Hi,
Can there be a setuid perl script which when executed, runs with the
privileges of owner of the file
ie:-
I am root
chown root:root /bin/myscript.pl
chmod +s /bin/myscript.pl
Now I am a local user
/bin/myscript.pl
and myscript.pl contains some code which need root privileges to run.

Thanks for including your new code. It doesn't seem to change anything
important, though. Have you tried any of the suggestions you've
already gotten? Did you use $< and $> to learn what user
Hello folks,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
I dont mean exactly httpd.
Any Service will do.
I want to start and stop a serviec using cgi script.
Say mysql service will do,
#!/usr/bin/perl
`/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld restart`;
print"Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print"RESTARTED";

You webserver may not be running this program set-id, even if you use
