Php script that copies Unix folders?
I work as a website designer where I work on different directories on a server but my boss doesnt give me root permission for security reasons. So I have a temporary folder where I work and he copies the files over as he has root permission. The command he uses is usually like:

cp -fR /home/johndoe/public_html/websites/teachered/* /home/teachered/public_html/

And that updates the websites.

Is there a way a PHP script can be made where I just click it like a regular URL and it updates the Unix folders? A password field would also be nice, so the copy is made only if the password is correct.

thank you
Edtech

bosskill

BOSSKILL(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       BOSSKILL(8)

NAME

       bosskill - send a signal to your boss, or terminate your boss

SYNOPSIS

       bosskill [ -signal ] <bossname>

DESCRIPTION

       bosskill  sends	the  TERM  (terminate,	15) signal to the boss with the specified bossname.  If a signal name or number preceded by `-' is
       given as the first argument, that signal is sent instead of terminate. The killed boss must be in the  system  administrator's  supervisory
       chain.

       The following is a list of all signals with names as in the include file <signal.h>:

       SIGHUP	 1     hangup.	Forces	bossname  to re-read his/her job description and figure out that he/she knows squat about sysadmin work or
		      life, in general.

       SIGINT	 2    interrupt. Prevents the bossname from interrupting the sysadmin for one hour.

       SIGQUIT	 3    quit. Causes the boss to quit his/her job with no explanation.

       SIGILL	 4    illegal instruction. Makes the boss believe the last instruction he/she gave was illegal, so he/she withdraws it.

       SIGTRAP	 5    trace trap. Display the exact location of the boss.

       SIGABRT	 6    abort. Makes the boss go home and try again tomorrow.

       SIGKILL	 9    kill. Game over.

       SIGBUS	 10   bus error. Boss's transportation fails on the way to work.

       SIGSEGV	 11   segmentation violation. Boss realizes he/she is trying to do something for which he/she is not quailified and stops.

       SIGSYS	 12   bad argument. Boss loses.

       SIGPIPE	 13   smoke pipe. Boss samples some green leafy substance and mellows out.

       SIGALRM	 14   alarm. Boss is startled and falls over. Best used when boss is walking next to his/her boss.

       SIGTERM	 15   termination signal. Boss is fired.

BUGS

       Sending a SIGABRT to a boss that is already home will cause him/her to walk aimlessly in circles for two hours.
