Does "sudo service apache restart" work?

Don't see that on my SuSE system. There's rcapache but that is just a
symlink into /etc/init.d/apache so that does not buy anything. But as
I said, even if it were setting the PATH and what else you need done,
the security would be an illusion. The scripts are sourcing
configuration files so unless you also control those, it remains hard
to restrict access this way.

Don't get me wrong. I am a big fan of sudo. The automatic logging of
important commands is very useful to make you remember when you did
what, and sometimes why you did it. It also helps to educate
colleagues after you've been called in the middle of the night. I just
don't give much for restricting root access that way.
