running system() as root user

[*]

Is there a way that I can run the system() command as a root user. Need to
restart network services on a server via php.

Check "sudo". I haven't used it but it should solve your problem.

And I sure hope there's no one else running sites on your box. The fun they

I gave up trying to do it that way. I managed to get the result I wanted by
