Hello, You can restart apache using the below given commands : >> service httpd restart >> /etc/init.d/httpd restart If you are using cpanel you can use : /scripts/restartsrv_httpd Last edited by cptechie; 06-03-2011 at 08:21 AM. Reason: Added Info

just do it in the roots crontab? That way you dont need a password

Actually I don't have the root access, I only have the sudo access.

I want to implement this in a script so that it will automatically take the password and do the restart.

There is an option (NOPASSWD?) so that the sudo user does not have to enter a password, I would only do something like this if you're restricting that user to only be able to execute the apache restart script. Another option is setting a stickybit on the script itself, but a bit less secure.

You can use cronjob.. and also check this small tutorial: Configuring sudo to work without password: http://www.readmespot.com/question/f...thout-password
