Pls help me about Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java...")

I have two applications. One is Client, the other is Platform.
In the Platform, there are source files packaged into a library named ZtConfig.jar used by Client. If run Client and Platform, two applications can execute normally.
But if Client is started by user from platform, there is something wrong.
I noticed the error difficultly with finally catching exception.
I was puzzled. It is so strange. Pls help me. I list some codes here.
In Client where finally exception catched:
import zt.config;
        try {
          xmlFileUrl = new java.net.URL(
              "file:///e:/Client/src/config/nsr1000.xml");
        catch (IOException ex1) {
          FileLogger.error(ex1.getMessage());
        FileLogger.info("NSR1000Document.setIEDContent", xmlFileUrl.toString());
        try {
          xmlLoader = new XMLConfigLoader(xmlFileUrl);
        finally {
          FileLogger.error("NSR1000Document.setIEDContent",
                           "cannot new XMLConfigLoader object");
          return; // the following codes cannot execute, so have to return here.
In the XMLConfigLoader, the constructor is
public XMLConfigLoader(java.net.URL xmlFileUrl) {
    this.xmlFileUrl = xmlFileUrl;
    configDoc = null;
    builder = null;
    xmlDoc = null;
Platform start Client application using the following code
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                "java -jar e:/Client/Client.jar");

I've got it!
Briefly, it is because classpath setting was overwritten by JBuilder.
Firstly, I start Platform from JBuilder. In its messages window. The command is
d:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin\javaw -classpath "JBPATH" zt.client.nsr1000.NSR1000App
Now, classpath environment variable was changed to be JBPATH. While I start
Client use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar Client.jar"), it will not run for classpath changed.
Then, I configured all packages used by Client into JBuilder libraries, including
Client.jar. And changed codes Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar Client.jar") to be Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -Xmx128m zt.client.nsr1000.NSR1000App")
I also changed CLASSPATH windows system environment variable.
I found this from command console, it can display exceptions. But from JBuilder, there is no exception that can be captured. So debug is difficult.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(java test)

Hi,
As part of a thesis for college, I am trying to execute a test java program. The program executes okay and I can read the results okay.
Sample code.
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java test");
InputStream iOutStream = process.getInputStream();
InputStream ErrorStream = process.getErrorStream();
However, I need to be able to execute a progam that reads a parameter from the screen. I tried to pass a parameter file but it doesn't work.
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java test <input.txt");
I also tried just passing the parameters as a string array but it doesn't work either.
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java test 2, 2");
Is there any other way that I can get the process to accept parameters?
My deadline is looming so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Eleanor

I think you are waiting when reading the output before you write to the stream until it becomes NULL or -1. That will never finish if the program you execute is expecting input!
See a working example:
This class does nothing than print a line on the console, then waits for a line of input, then prints the result again on the console. This is the class you'd execute from some other java code:
import java.io.*;
public class Input {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
            System.out.println("Before input");
            BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
            String s=r.readLine();
            System.out.println("Got line : " + s);
        } catch(Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}The following 'controls' the input-test class above, so compile the classes and execute the following one:
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class test {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java Input");
            BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            BufferedWriter w = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(p.getOutputStream()));
            String s=r.readLine(); // You cannot read until NULL because that will not happen before you have 'input' something
            System.out.println("Got: " + s);
            w.write("cvxcvxcvx\n\r");
            w.flush();
            System.out.println("waiting result:");
            while( (s=r.readLine()) != null) { // read until finished.
                System.out.println("after : " + s);
        } catch(Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

Matt

how would i retrive those strings in myApp as i want
to put the values from them in a JLabelYou have a main method like this, right?

Kill "runtime.getruntime().exec"-generated processes with control-c?

Hi there,
In my java program I create 2 processes with "runtime.getruntime().exec", but when I stop my java program pressing control-c these 2 processes remains running and I have to kill them using linux command "kill".
How can I program my code in order to kill these 2 processes when stopping my java program with control-c?
I tried next but it didn't work for me:
try {
final Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec ( "java ControlCProblemDemo" );
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(
new Thread(){
public void run(){
proc.destroy();
while ( true );
} catch( IOException ioe ) {
System.err.println( ioe );
}Thank you very much in advance.
Josué

so are you saying proc.destroy() does nothing?
are you sure it's getting executed?
is there an error?
too little info here

How to get return value from Java runtime.getRuntime.exec?

I'm running shell commands from an Oracle db (11gr2) on aix.
But, I would like to get a return value from a shell comand... like you get with "echo $?"
I use a code like

      pr.waitFor();
   catch (Exception ex) {

Hi,
Have your tried pr.exitValue() ?
I think you also need a finally block that destroys the subprocess

Running curl command from a java program using Runtime.getRuntime.exec

for some reason my curl command does not run when I run it from within my java program and errors out with "https protocol not supported". This same curl command however runs fine from any directory on my red hat linux system.
To debug the problem, I printed my curl command from the java program before calling Runtime.getRuntime.exec command and then used this o/p to run from the command line and it runs fine.
I am not using libcurl or anything else, I am running a simple curl command as a command line utility from inside a Java program.
Any ideas on why this might be happening?

thanks a lot for your response. The reason why I am using curl is because I need to use certificates and keys to gain access to the internal server. So I use curl "<url> --cert <path to the certificate>" --key "<path to the key>". If you don't mid could you please tell me which version of curl you are using.
I am using 7.15 in my system.
Below is the code which errors out.
public int execCurlCmd(String command)
          String s = null;
          try {
              // run the Unix "ps -ef" command
                 Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
                 BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
                      InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
                 BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
                      InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
                 // read the output from the command
                 System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
                 while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                     System.out.println(s);
                 // read any errors from the attempted command
                 System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
                 while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
                     System.out.println(s);
                 return(0);
             catch (IOException e) {
                 System.out.println("exception happened - here's what I know: ");
                 e.printStackTrace();

What I need to put in the file?

paulcw is right on the money on that one. You can easily create a bat file to perform that operation for you. However if you are feeling a little adventurous you can always use a Process:
Process process=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(.....);
int oneChar;
InputStream inputStream=process.getInputStream();
File file=new File("test.txt");
try{
file.createNewFile();
} catch (Exception e){}
FileOutputStream outputStream=new FileOutputStream(file);
while ((oneChar=inputStream.read())!=-1){
outputStream.write(oneChar);

Need help with Runtime.getRuntime().exec

If there is a better place to post please let me know. I need some help understanding what is going on and was hoping someone might be able to provide some information. I would like to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec to copy a file in linux. Here is the code I am using:
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cp -v foo foo2");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
If I use cp, with the System.out.println(line) I can see that it has copied and of course when I check the command line indeed it has. My problem is that I really need to use the dd command, but I can't see the output that dd displays. It copies the file just fine but I need the output. If someone can provide some explaination or help I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

By default, dd sends its output to stdout, so any status messages it has go to stderr. Use getErrorStream (double check the docs for the method name) just like you're currently using getInputSTream.

Need help on changing directories with Runtime.getRuntime().exec() (shell)

I want to create a perfect remote shell with Runtime.getRuntime(). I just can't get it to change directories. I want that if the remote user type "cd.." he changes the directory. At the moment, I can't get anything else than the "user.dir" directory.
Is there anyway to send additionnal commands to cmd.exe after the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). Because at the moment I'm running these commands:
cmd[0] = "cmd.exe" ;
cmd[1] = "/C" ;
cmd[2] = commandString;
After that I just wanna do stuff as if I really was at the computer and had a cmd.exe window open. I tried the output stream, I tried placing "&&" in front of the commandString(worked when I did it in cmd window), tried doing multiple Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). Starting to pull my hair out here.

Because essentially I want this to be a remote shell.
So I need it to accepts commands such as cd to change
around the directory so the person can navigate the
computer.
I just managed to be able to do it in one command
line. For example I would send "cd c:\downloads dir"
to the server and it would work but I would really
like to keep track of the working directory so the
user wouldn't always have to change the directory.Then you don't Runtime.exec() once for each command the user types. You Runtime.exec() a shell once, and pass what the user types and the shell's responses via the in/out streams available from the Process class.

Wierdness w/ Runtime().getRuntime().exec between 8.1.6 and 8.1.7

A Java SP that executes OS commands runs fine in 8.1.6, but doesn't run in
8.1.7 when a window is generated as a result of the call. The Java class
follows:
package com.crtinc.oracle.util.osrun;
import java.io.*;
public class SimpleRunner extends Object {
//just run the daggone command, don't worry about any errors, feedback,
etc...
public static void run(String cmd) throws IOException {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
The call spec follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE SIMPLERUNNER AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS
PROCEDURE RUN ("cmd" IN VARCHAR2)
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'com.crtinc.oracle.util.osrun.SimpleRunner.run(java.lang.String)';
END SIMPLERUNNER;
When deployed to v8.1.6 by a user with JAVASYSPRIV, the following call from
SQL*Plus runs and displays a window:
exec simplerunner.run('notepad.exe');
When deployed to v8.1.7, the same call causes notepad.exe to be added to the NT
Task Manager Processes tab, but the notepad window doesn't actually open up.
FWIW, the above code is a simple example - myactual utility captures the
output streams of OS commands, very much along the lines of sample code that
I've seen on Metalink - this also works fine in 8.1.6, but never returns in
8.1.7.
Granted, running Notepad is of limited utility (though it demos very well :-),
but other useful OS commands that spawna window (such as kicking of an Oracle
Report, which pops up a small status window) do not run now in 8.1.7. Running
a completely non-visual process seemsto work fine, however.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks
Jim

Well, just for anyone who might be facing such an issue in the future...
I am running the databse on NT and it turns out that my NT service didn't have the 'Allow Service to Interact with Desktop' checkbox selected, so that's why OS commands that generated windows weren't showing up. Checking that checkbox and stopping/restarting the service solved the problem.

Problem in Runtime.getRuntime().exec

Hi,
I am trying to start the tomcat server through a java application.Before starting the server,i need to run a batch file for setting up some classpaths.I am able to run the batch file and start the server,but its opening the 2 windows.How do i suppress it?
One more problem is how do i stop the server?
Code is:
import java.io.*;
public class Test
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
     Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:\\soap.bat");
     p.destroy();
     Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:\\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\\bin\\startup");
     //p.waitFor();
     Thread.sleep(10000);
     p1.destroy();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(p.getOutputStream()));
bw.write("1");
bw.flush();
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
br.close();
bw.close();
System.out.println(p.exitValue());
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
I need the help as early as possible.
pls cc reply to:[email protected]
Thanks
Anitha

Soln. to your first prob:
1) To have the other DOS window closed, click on the extreme left-top corner of that window. In the menu that drops down ,select properties.In the properties window make sure the 'close on Exit' check Box is checked. Apply the changes.
2) To stop the server u need to call the shutdown.bat file in the tomcat\bin dir. If u want to do this thru java then call the shutdown.bat file from your Runtime.exec() method. Same as u did for the startup file
Hope this helps.

How to execute an application in Solaris using Runtime.getRuntime.exec() ?

I am currently doing a project which requires the execution of Solaris applications through the use of Java Servlet with this Runtime method - Runtime.getRuntime.exec()
This means that if the client PC tries to access the servlet in the server PC, an application is supposed to be executed and launched on the server PC itself. Actually, the servlet part is not an issue as the main problem is the executing of applications in different platforms which is a big headache.
When I tried running this program on a Windows 2000 machine, it works perfectly fine. However, when I tried it on a Solaris machine, nothing happens. And I mean nothing... no errors, no nothing. I really don't know what's wrong.
Here's the code.
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException
     response.setContentType("text/html");
     PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          Process process;                                                       Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
          String com= "sh /opt/home/acrobat/";
          String program = request.getParameter("program");
          try
                    process = runtime.exec(com);
          catch (Exception e)
               out.println(e);
It works under Windows when com = "c:\winnt\system32\notepad.exe"
When under Solaris, I have tried everything possible. For example, the launching of the application acrobat.
com = "/opt/home/acrobat"
com = "sh /opt/home/acrobat"I have also tried reading in the process and then printing it out. It doesn't work either. It only works when excuting commands like 'ls'
BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));Why is it such a breeze to execute prgrams under Windows while there are so many problems under Solaris.
Can some experts please please PLEASE point out the errors and give me some advice and help to make this program work under Solaris! Please... I really need to do this!!
My email address - [email protected]
I appreciate it.
By the way, I'm coding and compiling in a Windows 2000 machine before ftp'ing the .class file to the Solaris server machine to run.

it is possible that you are trying to run a program that is going to display a window on an X server, but you have not specified a display. You specifiy a display by setting the DISPLAY environment variable eg.
setenv DISPLAY 10.0.0.1:0
To check that runtime.exec is working you should try to run a program that does not reqire access to an X Server. Try something like
cmd = "sh -c 'ls -l > ~/testlist.lst'";
alternatively try this
cmd = "sh -c 'export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0;xterm '"
you will also need to permit access to the X server using the xhost + command

Strange behaviour of Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command)

hello guys,
i wrote a program which executes some commands in commandline (actually tried multiple stuff.)
what did i try?
open "cmd.exe" manually (administrator)
type "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" and hit enter, which returns me
"AMD64"
type "java -version" and hit enter, which returns me:
"java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
type "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip"" returns me:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-zip
Path REG_SZ C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
i wrote two functions to execute an command
1) simply calls exec and reads errin and stdout from the process started:
public static String execute(String command) {
          String result = "";

     }the second function allows me to send multiple commands to the cmd
public static String exec(String[] commands) {
          String line;
          String result = "";
          OutputStream stdin = null;
          InputStream stderr = null;
          InputStream stdout = null;
          // launch EXE and grab stdin/stdout and stderr
          try {
               Process process;
               process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe");
               stdin = process.getOutputStream();
               stderr = process.getErrorStream();
               stdout = process.getInputStream();
               // "write" the parms into stdin
               for (int i = 0; i < commands.length; i++) {
                    line = commands[i] + "\n";
                    stdin.write(line.getBytes());
                    stdin.flush();
               stdin.close();
               // clean up if any output in stdout
               BufferedReader brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(
                         new InputStreamReader(stdout));
               while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
                    result += line + "\n";
               brCleanUp.close();
               // clean up if any output in stderr
               brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stderr));
               while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
                    result += "ERR: " + line + "\n";
               brCleanUp.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          return result;
     }so i try to execute the commands from above (yes, i am using \\ and \" in java)
(1) "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"
(2) "java -version"
(3) "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip""
the first function returns me (note that ALL results are different from the stuff above!):
(1) "" <-- empty ?!
(2) java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
(3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
the second function returns me:
(1) x86 <-- huh? i have AMD64
(2) java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
(3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
horray! in this version the java version is correct! processor architecture is not empty but totally incorrect and the reg query is still err.
any help is wellcome
note: i only put stuff here, which returns me strange behaviour, most things are working correct with my functions (using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); code)
note2: "reg query "HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0" /t REG_SZ" IS working, so why are "some" queries result in ERR, while they are working if typed by hand in cmd.exe?

ok, i exported a jar file and execute it from cmd:
java -jar myjar.jar
now the output is:
(1) "" if called by version 1, possible to retrieve by version 2 (no clue why!)
(2) "java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
(3) C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
so all three problems are gone! (but its a hard way, as i need both functions and parse a lot of text... :/ )
thanks for the tip, that eclipse changes variables (i really did not knew this one...)

Pls help me about Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java...")
