runtime.exec

I can not read a file only when database name contains like (new database (myid) etc. I give a following example code: dumpCommand = "C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.0/bin/mysqldump -h"+hostName+user+databaseName; Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process proc = rt.exec(dumpCommand); InputStream in = proc.getInputStream(); BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in)); String line =null; while((line=br.readLine())!=null) { //able to read line only when database name like abc,datastore etc... System.out.println(line); } Suppose my database name de mo means when I print

I'd like to invoke bash using a string as input. Something like: sh -l -c "./foo" I'd like to do this from Java. Unfortunately, when I try to invoke the command using getRuntime().exec , I get the following error: foo": -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' foo": -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file It seems to be related to my string not being terminated with an EOF. Is there a way to insert a platform specific EOF into a Java string? Or should I be looking for another approach, like writing to a temp script before invoking "sh" ? Use this: Runtime.getRuntime()

i'm trying to remove junk files by using Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(); it works fine as long as i do not use wildcards, i.e. this works: Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/bin/rm -f specificJunkFile.java"); while the following throws back "No such file or directory": Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/bin/rm -f *.java"); i should be able to do all the nice things as outlined here , right? Might I suggest that you let Java do this for you? Use file.listFiles() to get the list of files Use file.getName().contains(string) to filter them if needed iterate over the array

I have a collection of webapps that are running under tomcat. Tomcat is configured to have as much as 2 GB of memory using the -Xmx argument. Many of the webapps need to perform a task that ends up making use of the following code: Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process process = runtime.exec(command); process.waitFor(); ... The issue we are having is related to the way that this "child-process" is getting created on Linux (Redhat 4.4 and Centos 5.4). It's my understanding that an amount of memory equal to the amount tomcat is using needs to be free in the pool of physical (non-swap)

I have the following snippet of code: Process proc = runtime.exec(command); errorGobbler = new ErrorStreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), logErrors, mdcMap); outputGobbler = new OutputStreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), mdcMap); executor.execute(errorGobbler); executor.execute(outputGobbler); processExitCode = proc.waitFor(); where the gobblers are Runnable s which use a BufferedReader to read the input and error streams of the executing process. While this works most of the time, I get the occasional window (of about 2 minutes or so) where I get the processExitCode as 0, which indicates
