Why is not the process terminating after executing the command

[avinash99]

Hi
The process is not getting terminated after executing a command.
Should not the process get terminated automatically once the command is executed? Or should we terminate it using a separate command.
The code:
try {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec(commandToExecute);
process.waitFor();
System.out.println("Exitvalue="+process.exitValue ());

is just waiting and not coming out.

pls reply asap. thx in advance

Are you sure your "commandToExecute" is finishing ? Your code should exit fine ...

Try a simple command like nslookup or something to test it.
