Re: Execute command which has root privileges

You could use sudo, if your system has that. That's what I do for the rare occasion I have to call a script with root perms. But use sudo with care!

Hello, I am using FreeBSD 4.7 ,PHP 4.2.3 & Apache 1.3 I want to execute shell script which contains few IPFW commands. I have tried with system(),exec(),passthru() command to execute script but i can't do that. Apache has created "www" user on FreeBSD. I found that "www" user has not privilege for IPFW. How can i execute script which contains IPFW commands with PHP? I have given 777 permission to script file. Thanking You.
