Is there any graphical “sudo” for Mac OS X?

Question

I\'m designing a little software in Java. I don\'t know the term/definition to what I\'m doing, but I\'m prompting commands from Java to the terminal. Something like this:

Answer 1

make the follows, in this example I go create a folder /var/lock and set your permissions to 777:

String[] command = {
        "osascript",
        "-e",
        "do shell script \"mkdir -p /var/lock && chmod 777 /var/lock\" with administrator privileges" };
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
    Process process = runtime.exec(command);
    BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
    String line;
    while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
            System.out.println(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

on linux maybe you can make this with gksudo but I not test it, after I go testing and post here the results.
