[mohaa] start / stop server via web

[Quint]

All,

something like su - user and the the command to run. This can be done by a
sudo command setting for the apache user. You can set a command that this
user can do as root. I do the same to block ports in iptables by my apache
user and this is done by sudo.

So take a look at that.
