I need to run shell commands (in my case ipfw
) in Java with root privileges. I use ProcessBuilder
to run commands with no privileges:
Process p = new ProcessBuilder("ls","/").start();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String s;
while((s=br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
}
This code work fine but I need to run something like sudo
root command. How can I do?
I need to run this program in Eclipse, Mac OS X 10.6.8
Edit: for now I use sudo java
nameclass from terminal but in this way I have to manually add all the referenced classes.
