Running rmid from a java prog

[killgORE]

I need to write some code that starts a jini network from a gui that takes various bits of data. like port numbers, log directories etc...

This part works.

The terminal commands are generated correctly by the program - I have pasted them into a term and they work. But apparently the java application itself does not have the privilages to run the rmid.

Does anyone know how to get round this ?

Just for the general good of code monkey kind. I fixed this about two min after I posted. I guess the slight change altered my thinking enough to look at it from a different way.

My guess was correct. The gui prog did not have the privilages to run other java progs (because they are possibly viruses). So the answer is to pass a security policy file to the JVM of the gui. like this.

java -Djava.security.policy=policy prog.

Assuming that policy exists in the current directory and also that it grants the correct permissions.
