note 37089 added to function.system

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! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37089 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37089&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37089&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
