Method Detail

redirectStreams

public static void redirectStreams(Process process,
                                   OutputStream output,
                                   OutputStream error)

Redirects given process's input and error streams to the specified streams. the streams specified are not closed automatically. The streams passed can be null, if you don't want to redirect them.

Parameters:

process - process whose streams to be redirected

output - outputStream to which process's inputStream is redirected.
null if you don't want to redirect.

error - outputStream to which process's errorStream is redirected.
null if you don't want to redirect.

runCommand

public static String runCommand(String command,
                                String[] envp,
                                File workingDir)
                         throws IOException

Runs the specified command in terminal (sh in *nix/cmd in windows) and returns the command output.

Parameters:

command - complete command to be executed

envp - array of strings, each element of which has environment variable settings in the format name=value, or null if the subprocess should inherit the environment of the current process.

workingDir - the working directory of the subprocess, or null if the subprocess should inherit the working directory of the current process.

Returns:

output of the command.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

runCommand

public static String runCommand(String command)
                         throws IOException

Runs the specified command in terminal (sh in *nix/cmd in windows) and returns the command output. The subprocess created inherits environment and working directory from the current process

Parameters:

command - complete command to be executed

Returns:

output of the command.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

runCommand(String, String[], java.io.File)

getPID

public static String getPID()
                     throws IOException

Returns the PID of the current process. The PID will also be saved in system property "pid"

Returns:

PID of current progress

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs
