I'm trying to run a simple ls -l command(just for testing). But it somehow can't find the directory. My code:

ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("ls -l");
processBuilder.directory(new File("/home/minecraft/paper/event"));
Process process = processBuilder.start();

Error:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "ls -l" (in directory "/home/minecraft/paper/event"): error=2, No such file or directory

I tested multiple ways with and without a processbuilder but none of them worked

Thanks

try `new ProcessBuilder("ls", "-l");` – Federico klez Culloca Jun 27 '22 at 09:40
You may be relying on environment settings set by bash, so try `new ProcessBuilder("/bin/bash", "-c", "ls -l")` or `new ProcessBuilder("/bin/bash", "-c", "ls -l /home/minecraft/paper/event")` – DuncG Jun 27 '22 at 11:26
Seems to work, thanks! But how can I run a .sh file? – flavianthepavian Jun 27 '22 at 15:13
