[PHP] PHP Run Command Line

2001-07-05 Thread Matt Simpson

I need to let PHP run a command as SU... is there any way it can be done? I
need it to let Courier compile it's makeuserdb and makemaildir. Any help
would be great.

 If you *really* want to do that, you can install `sudo' package, and
 configure it to allow running a particular command as root to whatever
 user Apache runs as.

sudo is always one of the first things i install on my box. i never login as
root if i can help it. being forced to type 'sudo command' always makes me
think about what i'm doing.

and this is on a box with no users.

is this script being run from within apache or on the command line?
