I am using Jsch to remotely connect to a Linux server from Windows 7.
I have to
(i) login to Linux server with my credentials
(ii) switch to root using a pmrun command [this is the procedure in our environment], and
(iii) execute su command to switch as "someuser"
(iv) execute further commands as that "someuser"
I completed the steps (i) and (ii).
After completing step (ii), the InputStream from the channel shows the command-prompt as that of the root user. So I assume that I have become the root user now.
Now, do I need to get the root user's session to further execute an su command, or is there a way to execute further commands as the root user?
Someone please help. Thanks.
Update: Source code

host="myself@linuxserver.com";
}
String user=host.substring(0, host.indexOf('@'));
host=host.substring(host.indexOf('@')+1);
Session session=jsch.getSession(user, host, 22);
UserInfo ui=new MyUserInfo();
session.setUserInfo(ui);
session.connect();
String command= "pmrun su -";
Channel channel=session.openChannel("exec");
((ChannelExec)channel).setCommand(command);
InputStream in = channel.getInputStream();
OutputStream outStream = channel.getOutputStream();
((ChannelExec)channel).setPty(true);
((ChannelExec)channel).setErrStream(System.err);
channel.connect();
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(10);
outStream.write("xxxxxxx\n".getBytes());
outStream.flush();
