I want to know is it possible to give a user permission to stop and start httpd service apart from root user (administrator of machine)on the manhine were apache is loaded.

well i want to tell what i tried and did not succeed.

1. i created a group and made the "root" user and "normal user" member of it.

2.Group user have the permission to excute the file called "httpd" which starts up the httpd service.

3. when i try to excute the file and start the service i get message "httpd started" , but when i check the process status using "ps" command i don't see it running.

please let know how is it possible to give a normal user the permission to stop and start the httpd service
