hi everyone..sorry everyone if ive posted on the wrong group but i
really needed help....

i wan tto start jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3 from the webbrowser using the
sheel scripts...i normally use the shell scripts from the command line
to start and stop the tomcat server.....

i found out that php gives this incredible facility where i can execute
normal bash commands...i tried doing so ..but a simple command like {
system('whoami') } from
browser......eg.....http://localhost/startup.php..

prints apache as the user....so technically it executes the tomcat
startup script as apache user..but ive got
jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3 under the tomcat user....can someone please tell
me is there a way in php coding wherein i can execute the command as
another....i know this seems a bit out of place...but i really didnt
know anywhere else to go
