Re: Execute Shell command?

I use a package called sudo which allows you to give limited root rights to the user that your webserver is running as. Using this I'm able to add/delete a user from a PHP script and also change passwords using poppassd. http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/ Chris KPortsmout@aol.com wrote: > Hi, > > Does anyone know if there is a way to execute a shell command in a php > script?
