Can anyone run that command on your machine? If true it is a terrible idea. On a reasonably well secured system, only privileged accounts can start and stop services.

I would put a group acl on the service command like maybe admin. Create one or two accounts in that group. Do not let anyone else into the group. Don't give away the password.

Alias-ing the command will not work if some user tries

Code:

/usr/bin/service httpd restart

Same with scripting. You should never make a script redirect for a command.
You will screw up booting the system. Especially if you have to answer a prompt to get it to run. The reboot will just hang.

GIT-INSTAWEB(1)                                                     Git Manual                                                     GIT-INSTAWEB(1)

NAME

       git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb

SYNOPSIS

       git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
                      [--browser=<browser>]
       git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]

DESCRIPTION

       A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.

OPTIONS

       -l, --local
           Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).

       -d, --httpd
           The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be
           added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)

       -m, --module-path
           The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)

       -p, --port
           The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)

       -b, --browser
           The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the
           URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be printed to
           stdout.

       start, --start
           Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

       stop, --stop
           Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it close
           the browser.

       restart, --restart
           Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

CONFIGURATION

       You may specify configuration in your .git/config

           [instaweb]
                   local = true
                   httpd = apache2 -f
                   port = 4321
                   browser = konqueror
                   modulePath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules

       If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for
       more information about this.
