Hi all

i would like to execute a NMAP command from java. So i wrote the following method:

			

			public void execute(){
			

			try {
			

			Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
			

			

			String command = new String("nmap -sU -p 161-162 "+this.network+" -oX /home/hippie/blaTEST.txt");
			

			System.out.println("command: "+command);
			

			Process p = r.exec(command);
			

			

			System.out.println("executed nmap");
			

			}
			

			catch (Exception ex) {
			

			System.out.println(ex);
			

			}
			

			}
		

Now i have the problem that i have to be root user in linux to execute this command. So it doesn't work the way i implemented it
Could someone explain me how i have to implement it?
I think the same problem could occur in Windows if i'm not Admin, is this right?
