hi i am using java in RHEL5. i am using front end as java and back end RHEL5.
i am trying to calling a bash script with java. but i am facing problem.
i am using following java coding to use call the bash script
import java.util.*;

import java.io.*;

public class b
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try {
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/bin/bash");

BufferedWriter outCommand = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(child.getOutputStream()));

outCommand.write("sh ftp.sh"); //my script file name
outCommand.flush();
}

catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
}


but if i am having normal script like create files etc then it will run.
but i am having some scripts which take input from user then it will not work

for e.g if my script file ftp.sh is
#!bin/bash
read -p "enter value:" var


then it will not work .
so please suggest me the way to execute this script.

No. You should be doing something like this:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1....g/Process.html

PS:
I suggested it last August, and I'm suggesting it again now: if you want to interact with your server remotely (as I believe it sounded like you wanted to do back then), and you want to program your logic in Java, then I *strongly* urge you to consider using Apache/Tomcat.

IMHO...

Thanks for the reply
this command although run the normal script file,but not the script having command like read etc.
so my problem is that.
my script file containing the read command. and i want to execute this script file.

And sir i have only knowledge of core java,so i dont know how to use tomcat,apache etc

Uhm, then learn them?
