Java execute command example 2017-07-09 05:15
Sometimes we need to execute commands in Java. I will show you how to do it in this blog. The code is like following. I assume you use Windows and have installed JDK in your environment. If you use Linux or Mac call runtime.exec("java") will execute java command.
public class ExecuteCommand {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec("C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_45\\bin\\java.exe");
InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line;
System.out.printf("Output of running %s is:", Arrays.toString(args));
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
}
}
We can get the execute result(process.getInputStream()) or the error(process.getErrorStream()) message from Process class.
