Run command with sudo

[wadealer]

If you need sudo, you should execute the bin executable with sudo. The incode support was dropped due to security reason.

How can I do this? If I do this:
$cmd = "php_systemctl"; \SystemCtl\SystemCtl::setBinary("sudo $cmd");
I get an error:
sh: sudo /home/.../php_systemctl: No such file or directory

It seems that the php_systemctl binary is not found.

Do you check the specific binary path is correct?

[peter279k]

Maybe you should use root user to execute the current PHP program rather than using the sudo prefix during setBinary method call.

The reason is: It seems that the setBinay method only allow a binary path without other prefix command.

Hi @wadealer

To be fair, the documentation is fairly unclear at this point.
What it should say: If you need sudo, you should execute your script with sudo.

What that means.

Having your php script:

## stopService.php
$systemCtl = new SystemCtl();
$systemCtl->getService(...)->stop();

Then on your CLI you need to execute this script using sudo

$ sudo php stopService.php

Ok, I see
