  public ShellCommand()

Method Detail

• executeSilentAndWait

  public boolean executeSilentAndWait(String[] commandArray)

  Passes a command to the shell for execution. This method blocks until all of the command's resulting shell processes have completed. Any output produced by the executed command will not be displayed.

  Parameters:

  commandArray - The command for the shell to execute, as a String[]. See Runtime.exec(String[]) for more info.

  Returns:

  true if the spawned shell process returns an exit status of 0 (indicating success), else false.

• executeSilentAndWaitTimed

  public boolean executeSilentAndWaitTimed(String[] commandArray,
                                           int seconds)

  Passes a command to the shell for execution. This method blocks until all of the command's resulting shell processes have completed unless a specified number of seconds has elapsed first. Any output produced by the executed command will not be displayed.

  Parameters:

  commandArray - The command for the shell to execute, as a String[]. See Runtime.exec(String[]) for more info.

  seconds - The method will return true if this number of seconds elapses without the process returning an exit status. A value of 0 here disables waiting.

  Returns:

  true if the spawned shell process returns an exit status of 0 (indicating success), OR if the time expires, else false.

• executeSilentAndWaitTimed

  public boolean executeSilentAndWaitTimed(String shellCommand,
                                           int seconds)

  Passes a command to the shell for execution. This method blocks until all of the command's resulting shell processes have completed unless a specified number of seconds has elapsed first. Any output produced by the executed command will not be displayed. Warning, no good way to quote or escape spaces in arguments when shellCommand is a String. Use a String array for best results, especially on Windows.

  Parameters:

  shellCommand - The command for the shell to execute, as a String. You can't quote arguments successfully. See Runtime.exec(String) for more info.

  seconds - The method will return true if this number of seconds elapses without the process returning an exit status. A value of 0 here disables waiting.

  Returns:

  true if the spawned shell process returns an exit status of 0 (indicating success), OR if the time expires, else false.

• main

  public static void main(String[] args)
