setfacl permissions set on a file to an user, but he's unable to execute!

Question

I setup setfacl permission to a user, by doing

setfacl -m u:user:rx ../../../apache2/bin/restart

Giving user access to run the restart script.

but at the user end, he's unable to execute the restart script-

./apache2/bin/restart 
sh: line 0: kill: (346) - Operation not permitted
sh: line 0: kill: (349) - Operation not permitted
sh: line 0: kill: (353) - Operation not permitted
sh: line 0: kill: (357) - Operation not permitted
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:15552
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:15552
no listening sockets available, shutting down

This is because the processes are run as your primary account user. They can not be restarted by a secondary user.

is there any workaround to fix this? everytime i have to restart the apache process. Doesn't make much sense.

There is no work around. Only root can kill processes started by another user. This is part of the security model of the OS.
