Hi, I'd like to build a simple web app, which manages some directory on a server. I want to give people the option to use chown and chmod. What is the safest way to give PHP this permission? The quickest thing is just running Apache and PHP as root, but that doesn't seem to be a smart idea. One other thing I thought of, was creating a...
Hi, Bit support question. Apologies for that. I have an application linked with GNU readline. The application can invoke shell commands (similar to invoking tclsh using readline wrapper).

I am working tools that will be used on the multiple OS and platform. This tools will provide the details of the OS on which it is running, like 32 bit or 64 bit OS, exact version of Linux,Solaris,or other OS.

How can I tell if a file is open in C? I think the more technical question would be how can I retrieve the number of references to a existing file and determine with that info if it is safe to open.

I need to be able to add an arbitrary section to an ELF file. I cannot use GPL code in this program, so BFD is out of the question. I can use libelf/gelf to read sections, but the documentation is fairly sparse for these, and I cannot figure out how to add a section. Does anybody know how to do this? I would rather not write my own ELF c...
I'm running compiz under Linux. I know compiz is able to keep all workspaces running at the same time, so if I want to take a screenshot of an application, regardless of which workspace it is on, what should I do? (Any language.) ...

Greets. So, I'm running Fedora Core 8 on an Amazon EC2. I installed httpd, php5 and libcurl, and a bunch of other stuff. Seemed to be working great, but then I realized that POST data isn't being sent by curl in my php scripts. Same request in the command line works tho. I also ran the same php scripts on my local machine (Win XP) and a...
I'm trying to use something along the lines of unexpand -t 4 *.php but am unsure how to write this command to do what I want. Weirdly, unexpand -t 4 file.php > file.php gives me an empty file. (i.e. overwriting file.php with nothing) I can specify multiple files okay, but don't know how to then overwrite each file. I could use ...

However, if I happen to log out of SSH and ps again, it's been stopped. Is there a...

Let's say I have a Linux machine that is being bogged down by some network traffic. Might be someone FTPing a large file to it, a bunch of people downloading a large file, etc. What are some options I could use to determine this? I've looked over say the netstat man but I'm not sure if this would be exactly what I need. It could at leas...
