execute child process as root user?

[kuno]

I am building a node module that interact with ejabberd's control command line utlity `ejabberdctl`.

Unfortunately, on most systems, you need a root user permission to running `ejabberdctl`, becuse it either locates at /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin dirctory.

It seems to use this module, the whole process need to be running as a super user on *nix system. 

I wonder is there other way to resolve this issue?
