Hey, thanks for all the great replies.
The reason for using PHP is that I use the list of registered users in
Ubuntu as the "master" data list for a number of present and future custom
website functionality. For example, the PHP pulls the list and creates a
form to manage their electives. Their actual choices vary each day so I use
PHP and Mysql to maintain a db with their classes. I also use PHP to
provide multilevel access (i.e. different for students, parents, teachers
and admin) to the web pages for such things as forms, news, resources etc.
The passwd file works great as a "read source" since only registered
students will be given access to the web pages. There are some other
benefits as well to using php and a database.
All the command line code is great, but unless someone can tell me how to
let these php pages write to the command line then I would have to not only
give the teachers access to it but would actually have to teach the
teachers to code and, well, they already think I'm way over the edge as far
as "geekiness" and they would be certainly less than enthusiastic students
for sure.
I'll definitely study up on the programs and methods suggested. Off the
cuff (before studying those recommendations) it sounds like adding PHP to
sudoers would work but can I scale back the permissions from total sudo to
a less functional sudo?
Thanks
