How to provide password to the prompt through Java
Hi All,

I am using Ubuntu machine with JDK 6. I am running following command on shell-

Code:
sudo ./somecript

. Now, it prompts for sudo password and I provide the sudo password on shell and "somescript" starts running with sudo permissions.

What I want to do is, I need to execute "sudo ./somescript" fromJava code. For that I have created a jar file which executes following command
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
Code:
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("sudo ./somescript");

now, the problem is I dont get any prompt where I can provide the sudo password.

Please guide me to provide password to sudo.

BJDWP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  BJDWP(1)

NAME

       bjdwp - Command line USB Blackberry Java Debug Wire Protocol

SYNOPSIS

       bjdwp [-h][-p pin][-P password][-v] address port

DESCRIPTION

       bjdwp  is  a  program that supports the Java Debug Wire Protocol over USB, which enables debugging of Java programs directly on your Black-
       berry.

       Support is experimental, and development is focused primarily on the BlackBerry Storm.

OPTIONS

       -p pin PIN of device to talk with.  Only needed if you have more than one Blackberry connected at once.

       -P password
	      Simplistic method to specify device password.  In a real application, this would be done using a more secure prompt.

       -v     Dump verbose protocol data during operation.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

ARGUMENTS

       The following arguments are required, in order to provide a socket where the JDWP server will listen for connections from the debugger.

       address
	      Most often 'localhost' but can be any IP or hostname on the machine running bjdwp.

       port   Port to listen on.

EXAMPLES

       Start the server and the USB connection to the device:

	    bjdwp localhost 8000

       Then start your java debugger:

	    jdb -connect com.sun.jdi.SocketAttach:hostname=localhost,port=8000
