Executing an external program

[Stefan Paetow]

And /var/AccountingProcessor.jar is accessible by the FreeRADIUS user, yes?

Check the permissions on the jar and also check that the FreeRADIUS user can launch Java.

Hi,
I have tried to put single quotes, in that case error is

   expand: %{exec:/usr/bin/java -jar '/var/AccountingProcessor.jar' usman test} ->
++[reply] returns updated
Sending Accounting-Response of id 23 to 192.168.6.121 port 55006
Finished request 1.

Firing up java on each packet is likely to kill your service.

You've got quoting problems. Either escape the quotes around
/var/AccountingProcessor.jar, remove them, or use ' instead.
