Hi,

I am developing a Java program where I need to execute multiple lines of code from the terminal. It also includes some internal commands like cd, so, I thought it would be a good idea to use shell script. But, I get some error while executing shell script from the java program.

Also, I am new to shell script programming. Can anyone tell me how to run a shell script from a java program with a simple example?

Thanks,
Ashish.

Hi again,

I tried passing the command by running a shell but cd is not executed. It gives error 'cannot open cd (path)'.
How can I run internal commands like cd from my java program?

Thanks,
Ashish.

cd is a built in command, not a command by itself. At least in bash.
you should try creating your own script, and call that from java.
Your script can then use cd if it's a bash script (#!/bin/bash)

Hi once again,

I am facing some problem in running shell script from a java program. The script runs fine when executed from the terminal. But, when executed from the java program, not whole script is executed. My java code to implement shell script execution is:

File file = new File("/path/to/script");
String COMMAND= "./run";
ProcessBuilder p = new ProcessBuilder(COMMAND);
p.directory(file);

try {
Process start= p.start();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();
}

It seems only the first line is executed. "run" is the script name.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ashish.
