gksudo disable elevation persistence

Dismiss:

Given the above code, the second call to gksudo is password requested
again:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
        ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder();
        String comando = "";
        try {
            pb = new ProcessBuilder();
            pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
            comando = "/usr/bin/gksudo touch /bin/foo";
            pb.command("/bin/bash", "-c", comando);
            System.out.println(comando);
            Process p = pb.start();
            BufferedReader output = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            String line;
            while ((line = output.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
            int exitVal = p.waitFor();
            System.out.println("exit code" + exitVal);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
        }
        try {
            pb = new ProcessBuilder();
            pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
            comando = "/usr/bin/sudo -k";
            pb.command("/bin/bash", "-c", comando);
            System.out.println(comando);
            Process p = pb.start();
            BufferedReader output = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            String line;
            while ((line = output.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
            int exitVal = p.waitFor();
            System.out.println("exit code" + exitVal);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
        }
        try {
            pb = new ProcessBuilder();
            pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
            comando = "/usr/bin/gksudo touch /bin/foo";
            pb.command("/bin/bash", "-c", comando);
            System.out.println(comando);
            Process p = pb.start();
            BufferedReader output = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            String line;
            while ((line = output.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
            int exitVal = p.waitFor();
            System.out.println("exit code" + exitVal);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
        }
}
