Lumio Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi! Is there a way to execute commands as root using sudo? If yes, how to use it, if no, how can I get around. Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/73313-execute-as-root/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php Don't know exactly what you are going for as your php server is outside your main server most of the time.

trq Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 its probably (definately) a bad idea, but you could setup permissions for the www (or whatever user apache runs under) user to execute sudo without a pass. You need to edit your /etc/sudoers file. See... man sudoers for more info.

Lumio Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 No! I don't wan't to do that. But what I can do is to create a little programm that just starts a php-script with root-rights and reads the database.
