If you need to run root-level commands, such as to reboot a service, the utility 'sudo'
will let you handle linux permissions. In our example we use 'sudo' to allow apache
temporary root access to restart a service. We can then use:
system("sudo service dhcpd restart")
You also need to examine the /etc/sudoers file to specify what permissions to grant. Hope this helps
someone!
