Just using process manager to restart the services doesn't cause the 
configuration scripts to be run.  Dunno if you need to or not, just pointing 
out that that step is done by the init.d script.

I usually add the sipx user to the "wheel" group, and uncomment the '%wheel' 
line in /etc/sudoers (if it doesn't come that way by default...I don't recall)

But does it have to be passwordless?  Prompt the user for the sipx user 
password (not roots).
