Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1473

I want to make a simple web interface to start/stop/update all servers.
Is there a good way to manage all installed game servers as root? Something like running commands with su or su -

Thank you!

You could write a script to run all other scripts for that. You wouldn't need to run that as root though. Using sudo it would suffice to have the privileges correctly set up.

Wouldn't running this script as root throw an error, because the server scripts can't be run as root?

Edit: I am asking, because i want to use root to run the scripts

Don't ever run game servers as root if you care about your system and its security.

@UltimateByte i dont want to run the scripts as root. I just want to manage all servers as root. That was my question: Is there a way to "tell" the server owner users to execute server commands. Or something similar.

I would look into suPHP & suEXEC stuff, though i don't know of anybody who's done it, so you'll have to figure it out.
