executing the su command from a java program.
Say in unix (AIX) m/c, I am logged in with s1 user and want to start process p1 with user credentials of s2.

I can do manually in this way:
#su - s2
#enter password for s2> somePassword
$ p1

But all this I have to do through a java program. How to pass the password through program.
One way is to use a script. But then in script also how to pass the password.

I will be thankful, if anybody can suggest some solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance.

I believe this site still has rules about posting homework questions.

IF however, you are on a self-study regimen or if this is truly work-related I apologize.
