Hello, I have found the right thing for starting the service using cgi.
There is a software called super ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/super-3.12.1-1.i386.rpm Install this and configure the same. Put relevent entries in /etc/super.tab Your script will run with full root privileges. Have a great day.
