Full Discussion: Warn Before Executing Particular Command

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.
