benphelps Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I need to run a system call from PHP as root. I need to use "vzctl, vzyum, vzrpm, vzquota", the openVZ tool set. I have tried to chown the file "root:root" but that didn't work. I tried to "sudo <command>", doesnt work. If anyone knows how to exec in PHP as root, please help me.

Maq Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 If you want to execute shell commands as root try: shell_exec('sudo -u root -S command_goes_here'); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150578-exec-or-system-as-root/#findComment-790944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benphelps Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Like I said in my post, sudo doesnt work. It just freezes and stdin. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150578-exec-or-system-as-root/#findComment-790953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
