How to execute Linux shell commands from Java2 app?

[Joncamp]

In other languages like PHP/Perl you can execute any shell command, what package and method do you use in Java2 to do a shell command execution?

Thanks,
Jon

Take a look at System.exec()

I think you mean Runtime().exec() :

String[] commands = new String[1];
commands[0] = "ls";

try {
	Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec();
	
	BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
	String line;
	while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {

		System.out.println(line);

	}
	br.close();
	
	p.waitFor();


} catch (InterruptedException ie) {
	throw new IOException("Error waiting for command " commands[0] +" :" +ie.getMessage());
}
