  • what your asking has many different answers, you could elaborate more on this. CRON would be an option on linux machines – some_groceries Nov 30 '15 at 06:41
  • for a simple solution in java have a look [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3403226/how-to-run-linux-commands-in-java-code) at Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). You can run all commands you want and get their output. so start your application. find the pid using ps and kill it. – ArcticLord Nov 30 '15 at 06:44

    you can use `shell_exec('your shell command')`, and it will return the complete output as a string.. – check Nov 30 '15 at 06:49

I don´t know how to do exactly that, but you can use ProcessBuilder (Java) to do something similar. (You can start and stop the process any time you want with this)
