Reading output from a Solaris(UNIX) shell script

Question

Hello All, I have written some fairly large shell scripts. I have also written a simple java GUI that contains a button that will run the script. The script runs. The problem is that I cannot see the output from the script in the x-term that I used to run my java class file.
I am developing in a windows environment, I have a silly little system.out that prints "Button Pressed", which works in windows just fine but on my ultra 10 running Solaris 8 the term just sits there no output to the srceen.
Has anyone out there solved this problem or know of a way that I can? Thanks

I don't know how to print out to the x-term. But you can add a JTextArea to the GUI and get the output there.
String output = null;
StringBuffer returnString = new StringBuffer();
String command = /path/to/shell/script/script.sh
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader (process.getInputStream());
input = new BufferedReader(isr);
while((output = input.readLine()) != null){
    returnString.append(output);
}Wouldn't a System.out.println(returnString.toString()) print to the x-term console?
hope this helps.
