You mean like WebMin?
You can change the user (although I don't recommend it). Check out
posix_setgid() and posix_getuid().
And if you do change the user/group id, I recommend you first spawn
another process to do it, rather than trying to change it for the Apache
server itself.
Or, rather than killing Apache, why not execute a batch job which
gracefully brings it down and restarts it?
