"httpd ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/network restart"..

When I checked "whoami" it is giving the result as "asterisk"..Then I tried also
"asterisk ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/network restart"..

Then I run the script
<? php

System('sudo /etc/init.d/network restart',$result);
echo "$result";
?>

Then nothing is happening and it is displaying the result 1.
Also when I tried
<? php

System('service network restart',$result);
echo "$result";
?>

It is returning the result as 0 and also displaying

Shutting down interface eth0: [FAILED] Shutting down loopback interface: [FAILED] Bringing up loopback interface: [FAILED] Bringing up interface eth0: [FAILED]

here are the step which you need to follow;

1) Comment a option into of "Default requiretty" using visudo

Code:

cat /etc/sudoers  | egrep "requiretty|apache"

#Defaults    requiretty

apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/network restart

2) your php code

Code:



<?php



  system('sudo /etc/init.d/network restart',$result);

  echo "$result";

?>

it must work.
