Running shell scripts with sudo through my web app
- by nfm
I have some functionality that interfaces with the server's OS in my web application. I've written a bash script and am able to run it from within my app.
However, some functionality of the script requires superuser privileges.
What is the most sane way to run this script securely? It is being passed arguments from a web form, but should only be able to be called by authenticated users that I trust not to haxxor it.
