Check if process is running on windows/linux

Question

i have a process

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime() ;
Process p = rt.exec(filebase+port+\"/hlds.exe +ip \"+ip+\" +maxplayers \"+players+ \" -game cstrike -co         


        

Answer 1

public class ProcessEndNotifier extends Thread
{
    Process process;
    MyClass classThatNeedsToBeNotified;

    public ProcessEndNotifier(MyClass classThatNeedsToBeNotified, Process process)
    {
        this.process = process;
        this.classThatNeedsToBeNotified = classThatNeedsToBeNotified;
    }

    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        try {
            process.waitFor();
        }
        catch (InterruptedException e) {
            classThatNeedsToBeNotified.processEnded();
        }
        classThatNeedsToBeNotified.processEnded();
    }
}

Now you can know if a process in running like this:

public class MyClass
{
    boolean isProcessRunning;       

    public static void main(String[]args)
    {
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("foo -bar");
        isProcessRunning = true;
        new ProcessEndNotifier(this, process).run();
    }

    public void processEnded()
    {
        isProcessRunning = false;
        // Or just do stuff here!
    }
}
