I'm writing some web pages to do some reporting and statistics about Legato backups.
I am also trying to get some functionality in there to allow the webpages to control the remote jukebox/robot via the supplied commands. I can do these myself but not via the webpages as they need root access to run the commands.
Is there a way to promote the apache user to superuser status to run the commands?
The web pages are on a Sun box and I'm writing all the scripts in PERL. Access to the pages is secure so security isnt a major concern before anyone shouts
I'm not a UN*X guru but I know my way around.
Anyone got any ideas?
