The consumer would not need clojure, he is not suggesting you use some
clojure shell command, but rather the clojure.java.shell/sh function
which lets you write to stdin (and read stdout) from a shell process you
call from your Java program.

Also, you will need to invoke sudo with the -S argument so it reads from
stdin, and not from a pty.
