Java applet - Connection with OS

I wrote some Java code to get the date and time via a NTP server.

I get the correct date/time from the server and store it in a variable.

Now I woudl like to pass the value to the 'date' command on the OS (Suse Linux), using JNI.

Two problems:

- How do I get the program to have root access to the 'date' command to change the date and time ?

- How do I execute the 'date' command from within Java ?

Thanks,

J.M.
