This should be safe. It sounds like you are only trusting apache to run these scripts as root.

I don't know what you are trying to do, but you might not need to be root. Look into setting up a user with groups to run these scripts as a user other than root.

    I wrote this node a long time ago (anonymously), where I gave a little more detail about how to set up security like this using groups.
