Re: How do I su to another account??

[Jason <jason.gerfen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well if you are using apache as your webserver you can use a module 
which supports this feature... mod_chroot, mod_ruid or mod_suid2 is what 
you want.

Or just as a suggestion if you don't want to change the running 
environment of apache I recommend having your script set a flag (temp 
file or something) then write a shell or php script running through a 
cron job to check for the temporary file before it executes.
