cannot start jstatd due to permission error

Question

I try to run jstatd jvm monitoring tool on linux machine

jboss@hostAddr:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_18/bin> uname -a Linux hostAddr 2.6.16.60-0.34-smp #1 SMP Fri Jan 16 14:59:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 

with following command:

jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=~/jstatd.all.policy 

jstatd.all.policy contents

grant codebase "file:${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar" {     permission java.security.AllPermission;  }; 

Unfortunately I get following output:

Could not create remote object access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission java.rmi.server.ignoreSubClasses write) java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission java.rmi.server.ignoreSubClasses write)         at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:323)         at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:546)         at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:532)         at java.lang.System.setProperty(System.java:725)         at sun.tools.jstatd.Jstatd.main(Jstatd.java:122) 

For some reason jstatd runs successfully on windows with the same command and policy file.

Linux java version:

java version "1.6.0_18" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)

Just found following script to run jstatd. I managed to run jstatd with this script https://gist.github.com/nicerobot/1375032

#!/bin/sh policy=${HOME}/.jstatd.all.policy [ -r ${policy} ] || cat >${policy} <<'POLICY' grant codebase "file:${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar" { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; POLICY  jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=${policy} &
