Java run async processes

Question

I am trying to run an async process and I do not want the program to wait until the end of these processes executions. I found this question how to run shell script asynchro

Answer 1

You are reading the output streams of your process, and thats the reason your java program does not exit:

        printStream(process.getErrorStream(), true);
        printStream(process.getInputStream(), true);

Your stream reading will keep blocking your code.

You may like to redirect output of your launched process to a log file and read that later.
