I'm working on a Java desktop aplication to manage iptables and i want to execute iptables commands via Java, this is what i am doing:
i execute from terminal gksu "iptables -L" and it worked but when i try to execute it from Java runtime ( exec.("gksu \"iptables -L\" ") ) i keep getting this output:
GKsu version 2.0.2
Usage: gksu [-u ] [options]
--debug, -d
Print information on the screen that might be useful for diagnosing and/or solving problems. --user , -u
Call <command> as the specified user. --disable-grab, -g
Disable the "locking" of the keyboard, mouse, and focus done by the program when asking for password. --prompt, -P
Ask the user if they want to have their keyboard and mouse grabbed before doing so. --preserve-env, -k
Preserve the current environments, does not set $HOME nor $PATH, for example. --login, -l
Make this a login shell. Beware this may cause problems with the Xauthority magic. Run xhost to allow the target user to open windows on your display! --description , -D
Provide a descriptive name for the command to be used in the default message, making it nicer. You can also provide the absolute path for a .desktop file. The Name key for will be used in this case. --message , -m
Replace the standard message shown to ask for password for the argument passed to the option. Only use this if --description does not suffice. --print-pass, -p
Ask gksu to print the password to stdout, just like ssh-askpass. Useful to use in scripts with programs that accept receiving the password on stdin. --sudo-mode, -S
Make GKSu use sudo instead of su, as if it had been run as "gksudo". --su-mode, -w
Make GKSu use su, instead of using libgksu's default. I hope someone can help me :D plox :P
