Last line is still not read

Question

Hi,
I fixed error in last post and rewrote the code using ProcessBuilder instead.
Output from my unix tool is:
Command is a shell application' /home/myid/test/myshell/bin/run' that starts a ascii gui that looks like ( see below). It waits for input from user.
*   My shell Application                   *
HELP: h
COMMAND: c
QUIT:q
135.19.45.18>
And still the last line is not showing when I read the text.
I have tried with readLine() and I get the same error.
Note: When I debug, after characters in line:
OUIT:q
have been read I can see that debugger hangs on
br.read()
And now the code looks like:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class RunShellCmd {
    private BufferedReader processInputStream;
    private BufferedWriter processWriter;
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        RunShellCmd cmd = new RunShellCmd();
        cmd.runCmd();
    public void runCmd() throws Exception {
        Process process = null;
        List<String> cmd = new ArrayList<String>();
        cmd.add("/bin/bash");
        cmd.add("/home/myid/test/myshell/bin/run");
        ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(cmd);
        processBuilder.redirectErrorStream(true);
        try {
            System.out.println("start process ....");
            process = processBuilder.start();
            InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            int intch;
            while ((intch = br.read()) != -1) {
              char ch = (char) intch;
              sb.append(ch);
              System.out.println(sb.toString());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out
                    .println("An error occourd: "
                            + e.toString());
        } finally {
            processInputStream.close();
            process.destroy();
            System.out.println("exit value: " + process.exitValue());
            processWriter.close();

DUPLICATE THREAD!
Please don't create duplicate threads. You already have a thread for this same issue.

Good - then post your progress in the original thread and keep using it until the problem is resolved. That way the people that tried to help you before can see the entire context of what you are trying.
