Will sudo work from the php script? That would work for me.
Basically, I'm looking through domain names gotten from mysql and copying files from a template directory in one domain to the other domains. Sudo has been setup for the user, but I didn't know if it would work or how it works or what function to use from php?

Only root can change user and I doubt your script will be running as root (otherwise any PHP scrpt could become any user and wreak havoc on a server!). This begs the question: why do you need to change user? -- Aj. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
