Runtime.getRuntime().exec("gksudo java -jar myjar");

I would like to have

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("osascript -e \"do shell script \\"$*\\" with administrator privileges");

Answer 1

Call the osascriptWrapper.sh script from Java:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/path/to/osascriptWrapper.sh myjar.jar");

Define osascriptWrapper.sh as:

#!/bin/bash

osascript -e "do shell script \"/path2/to2/runJar.sh $*\" with administrator privileges"

And runJar.sh:

#!/bin/bash

java -jar $*
