run a linux shell script file executing from a .jar

Question

I was wondering if i could start a .sh from a .jar file.

I think i would go something like this:

start "test.sh"

but that did not work.

Where did you put that code? – andy256 Aug 05 '13 at 22:15 — andy256, Aug 05 '13 at 22:15

Yes, you can. Exemplary code in your jar:

Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = r.exec("./script.sh");
p.waitFor();
BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
while ((line = b.readLine()) != null) 
{
    System.out.println(line);
}
