Re: Running root commands by http
Hi,
U could use sudo ?
Excerpt from http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/
---
Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain
users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands
as root or another user while logging the commands and arguments.

and run it with a cgi or php or whatever.
