Which files shoud only be at Root?
My Mac saves my Vim's temporary files, my Scanner's log files and mach_kernel -files to my Root. I did not set this procedure up.

Which files should only be at Root? ...

Run a Python project in Eclipse as root
Hi, I use Eclipse as my IDE, and when I run my application I wish the application itself to run as root. My program currently checks if it is root, and if not it restarts itself with gksudo. The output, however, isn't written to the console. I can't use sudo, since it doesn't give me a graphical prompt. (While my program is CLI, Eclipse...
Debugging in XCode as root
In my program I need to create sockets and bind them to listen HTTP port (80). The program works fine when I launch it from command line with sudo, escalating permissions to root. Running under XCode gives a 'permission denied' error on the call to binding function (asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::bind()). How can I do debugging under XCode? ...
Implementing a dired interface in emacs for something other than the filesystem?
The ROOT data analysis framework commonly used in high energy physics uses a binary file format that has internal structure like a real filesystem (i.e. folder & files). The ls() method output from the program look something like this: KEY: TH1D name1 KEY: TH1D name2 KEY: TH2D name3 .... Where "TH1D" and "TH2D" etc. ...
Allowing PHP to change file and directory ownership and permission
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...
Determine if running on a rooted device
My app has a certain piece of functionality that will only work on a device where root is available. Rather than having this feature fail when it is used (and then show an appropriate error message to the user), I'd prefer an ability to silently check if root is available first, and if not,hide the respective options in the first place. ...

Test for root node XML .NET
I'm currently using the code below to attempt to check for a certain root node (rss) and a certain namespace\prefix (itunes), but it seems to be saying that the feed is valid even when supplied with a random web page URL instead of one pointing to a feed.

How do I run a command as a different user from a root cronjob?
I seem to be stuck between an NFS limitation and a Cron limitation. So I've got root cron (on RHEL5) running a shell script that, among other things, needs to rsync some files over an NFS mount. And the files on the NFS mount are owned by the apache user with mode 700, so only the apache user can run the rsync command -- running as root...
PHP File Directory - $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']'s parent folder
I know $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] returns the document root (most likely something like /home/user/public_html), but is there any way to get the parent directory of this folder? (i.e. just /home/user/) I would try and replace common folder names like public_html or www, but it's not a given that the folder would be named that on all syst...
Require the user to enter the server's superuser/root password in PHP.
Hi all! I'm making a system called NCIV in PHP. In that system you can change a setting in settings.php, which allows the system's admin to enable or disable the usage of MySQL rather then a bunch of text files. However, changing that setting if the site already has content, will move all the data from/to the MySQL Database to/from the ...
