problem executing this shell command

i'm trying to run this shell command from inside my php program on Fedora 5:

php Code:

Original - php Code
$output = shell_exec('service dhcpd restart'); echo "<pre>$output</pre>";

 
$output =  shell_exec('service dhcpd restart');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";

this is the output i get:

Shutting down dhcpd: [FAILED]
Starting dhcpd:

that's it.... and when i run it from the shell directly it works fine.. any ideas??

RE: problem executing this shell command

Are you even logging into the server?.. If so, does that user have priveledges to execute?
