I can't execute TELNET at Solaris.

Question

I have a problem to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() function. I want to execute Telnet with console at
Solaris. By using this command :
public static void main(String args[])
String argv[] = { "telnet", "10.1.1.4", "5000" };
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh", argv);
} catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Error");
I hope I didn't type any errors on the codes above.
It executed (no error), but without displaying a console to user.
Can anybody tell me the solutions ?

Answer 1

you will need to catch the stdout & stderr from the Process that is returned by Runtime.exec(), and feed them to the console user. in addition you will need to copy the console input to the Process stdin, so that commands that the user types are passed to the telnet process.
take a look at java.lang.Process getxxxxxStream methods
or perhaps exec a different process
  String msg = "xterm -e telnet 10.1.1.4 5000"
  Runtime.getRuntime().exec(msg);
