I would like to create some web pages/scripts (probably using PHP since I use it for a lot of other things) to assist me in administering my linux machine. What are some ways that I can execute certain administrative commands (such as ifconfig,iwconfig,route,scripts in my /etc/init.d/ directory, etc...) as root? I'm fairly familiar with the different access-control methods available to me to restrict access to these pages. I will definitely be using SSL with a self-signed certificate. I'm just not sure how to get my web server (which doesn't run as root and I want to keep it that way) to execute these commands with superuser privileges. Thanks
