Permission denied in Android terminal Emulator

Question

i always get permission denied when i open the android terminal emulator? I want to change the hosts for android , but I cant because the permission denied ? How can I fix it ?

I want to change the host to point on another pc so i see the request there and check if there the service is from a mobile device so i can reroute it to mobile page

Answer 1

The android on board "toolbox" shell has a limited vocabulary of errors, and likes to go give the permission denied one for all sorts of causes, such as command not found.

It also has a rather limited assortment of commands, some of which do not take formats familiar from the desktop linux world.
