Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Restarting squid from an I-Bay
You could install and configure sudo to allow www user to execute init.d scripts as root... I haven't done it before, but i've used sudo, and it works quite well. Has anyone tried it on an e-smith box? -JL Quoting Trevor Ouellette [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I know that I've asked all of you this before... but someone here must be smart enough to figure this out with me... GRIN If anyone knows how to restart squid from an Ibay, please let me know... what permissions to set, etc. I have no problem executing a script that runs /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid restart, but squid realizes what I'm doing and promply stops. I'm running as user www because it's a I-Bay. Can I run an I-Bay from port :980? It's a PHP script BTW, not perl. I'm putting this challenge out to all of you! I will do my best to answer any questions that you may have re: this problem.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Restarting squid from an I-Bay
Well, Not knowing alot of how the perl esmith module works, this is chancy, but you could do the following: make a /etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-squidguard with the following. #!/usr/bin/perl package esmith; use strict; use Errno; use esmith::util; esmith::util::backgroundCommand (0, /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid restart); exit(0); then in /etc/e-smith/events/manager-misc link it to the actions directory.. ie ln -s ../actions/conf-squidguard S98conf-squidguard When the e-smith manager is modified, the squid guard info will be reloaded... At least, that's how I understand it would work ;) Let me know how this goes, I'm pretty intrested in this project!

I'm not much of a programmer... but this squidguard thing is starting to really take shape!

RE: [e-smith-devinfo] Restarting squid from an I-Bay
Thanks everyone for your help with my problem. I got it. The sudo recommendation from J. Lewis did the trick. I'm just tightening up security now. I have been writing an installation script to install the entire squidguard, lists, updates, IP security stuff, etc. I guess the next step would be to rpm it.
