I am trying to edit the file java.security but it opens as read only. I am running as root user but I think this is happening because the java process is currently using the file.

How can I temporarily close the process and edit the file and then start java up again? I am using Fedora.

Or it could, in fact, be read-only. You can use :w! to attempt to change the permissions to allow writes, write the file, then restore the permissions.
