Hi

how can i run bash script programmtically from eclipse plugin.
I tried using java runtime, but it does not work. The script is working
when called from command line or simple java application.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String{"/home/script.sh","param1","param2"});

regards,
Sana.

From my experience on windows, you will probably have to prefix
"/bin/bash" before your command.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String{"/bin/bash",
"/home/script.sh","param1","param2"});

Well, on linux, it does not seem to work. Infact ,if i ask for return
value of this subprocess, the process throws
java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException process has not exited.

try{
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = r.exec(new
String{"/bin/sh","/home/script.sh","param1","param2"});
int exit_val = proc.exitValue();

}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

thanks for any help,

Hello.

The API documentation states that it behaves like that:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Process.html #exitValue()

Maybe add a call to waitFor() before calling exitValue().

With best regards
