Will sudo work from the php script?  That would work for me.

 

Basically, I'm looking through domain names gotten from mysql and copying
files from a template directory in one domain to the other domains.

 

Sudo has been setup for the user, but I didn't know if it would work or how
it works or what function to use from php?

Why not use sudo? or run a damon as the other user that performs the task
you need.

What exactly does the other user need to do?

Only root can change user and I doubt your script will be running as root
(otherwise any PHP scrpt could become any user and wreak havoc on a
server!).


This begs the question: why do you need to change user?
