Re: Tough One

This is the only viable solutions because most system admin will banned all system calls coming from the web. As it should be, I think. py At 08:34 AM 3/29/01 -0600, you wrote:

I good solution for this kind of stuff is to just build a queue, either file or database. WHen you need to do a system type function you add that command to the queue, then have a cron job that runs (which can more safely run as a provolidged user), verifies that the function is ok and processes the job. If you have PHP compiled in CGI mode you can write the script in PHP otherwise you can do it in perl or bash or whatever.

So I need to somehow incorporate the above into my signup scripts. Is this even possible??
