How to run Linux commands using a Java program?

Hi,
I want to execute Linux commands using a Java program. I came to know that we can use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("commands") to execute the commands through the program. I'm new to both Linux and Java. It would be helpful if i get more information on this.

Did you just answer your own question??

Languages typically have a protocol for accessing the shell. Where did you find the example that you cite for Java?

Here's what Google found using "java system call":
