Run a .sh script through JAVA ?

Question

Hi All,
I have a shell script that basically gives me some status on my UNIX box. The name of the script is "scstat". But I need to parse the output shown by this script using JAVA.
Does anybody know of any code or let me know the ways to implement this......your help is appreciated.
Best Regards, sangita
