For being able to kill whatever processes you have to be root. One possible way to kill applications from Java level would be to implement a JNI interface. You would need to implement a native application which runs as root and is able to handle incoming requests. Your native JNI implementation would implement the functionality to talk to this new root process. Of course you have to make sure that the application which executes the kill command is started as root.
Another possibility would be to use socket communication to talk to your native process. If you find an easier way to do this, please let me know. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
