I need a php script to trigger another script to run as root on a
machine. Currently, the scripts run as the www-data user, but that
means I can't modify any files on the system that aren't owned by
www-data or world writable. I somehow need to trigger a php script to
run as the root user. I thought of using a cron to watch for some
indicator but that would mean there could be a one minute delay. Any
thoughts? Running php / linux and I have root access to the machine
myself so i can set it up however I need to.

Thanks.

Jeff
