This +1 - It looks like sudo is
exactly what you need for this task.
But an alternative might be to dabble with setuid instead. Extremely bad idea to do this with scripts as you can trick the OS into running arbitrary code that way, but with code that's not interpreted at runtime (ie compiled code) it works a treat.

In Solaris 9, when I built users, there was an option for No Password -- Setuid Only. Now that I'm using Solaris 10, I no longer can find that option.
Is there an equivalent option of No Password --Setuid Only in Solaris 10?
Thanks,

NOTES
Note
In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocicolumntype(3) instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of
oci_field_type(3) for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
