programmatically access to administrator mode in linux from non-admin

[Pierre_F]

I need help for accessing rights inside Linux, and I'm not very optimal on this OS

From a NON-administrator desktop, my Labview application has to check the linux journal (/var/log).

however, this folder can be accessed only in administrator.

Do you have an idea about what to do? I'm open to every solution, 100% automatic, or with manual prompt (but the first one would be better) 🙂

thanks in advance
