You can use sudo to allow the user zzblue to run the command. Sudo is a utility that allows users to run commands as other users. Just run `visudo` And at the bottom of the file add the line: zzblue ALL = (asterisk) /path/to/asterisk -rxxx Then save and quit. This line means, the user zzblue, on any host (The ALL part, but in this case only your asterisk server) can run the exact command `/path/to/asterisk -rxxx` as the user asterisk. You can change the (asterisk) part to (useraccount_that_runs_asterisk) or (ALL) which will mean as root. But be carefull if you put (ALL) to replace (asterisk) as I don't know if in the asterisk shell if you can run other system commands. If you leave out the -rvvv part, you can let the user run the asterisk command with other options. By putting in the options, the user MUST include those exact options. see more with `man sudoers` and `man visudo`.
