waroffice	Afternoon, I have been struggling with this all day. I have a teamspeak server on my server and it sometimes stops working, i want to make a simple webpage that my brother can go to and restart the service. The teamspeak server needs to be started by a specific user. i created a script with an "su -c '/path/to/script' teamspeak </password/file" entry this would run sometimes but it just wouldn't work Is there a better way? Thanks
