system calls in Java


Hey all

I want to be able to use system calls in Linux using Java - I know you can use something like the following:

Code:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;

public class getFileSeperator{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  try{ 
    Runtime aRT = Runtime.getRuntime(); //Runtime.getRuntime();
    //Spawn a shell sub-process
    Process aProc = aRT.exec("//sbin//ifconfig -a");
    BufferedReader kbdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(aProc.getInputStream()));
    String line;
    while((line = kbdInput.readLine()) !=null)
    System.out.println(line);
  }catch(IOException ex) {
    System.out.println("ExeNativeCmd.execInUnix:error");
    };
  }
}
But what if I want to have a seperate argument:
i.e.

Code:
String arg1 = "-a";
String arg2 = "eth0;

Process aProc = aRT.exec("//sbin//ifconfig" + arg1);
This doesn't seem to work for me

You didn't put space after "ifconfig" in your code,

Process aProc = aRT.exec("//sbin//ifconfig " + arg1); //put space
