Im using java to start a GNOME terminal process in linux and redirecting its input and output to my code. Below is a code.
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub /usr/bin/telnet
try
{
String line, commandInput;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("/home/Ashutosh/Documents/testfile"));
ProcessBuilder telnetProcessBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("/bin/bash");///home/Ashutosh/Documents/tempScript");
telnetProcessBuilder.redirectErrorStream(true);
Process telnetProcess = telnetProcessBuilder.start();
//Process telnetProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("xterm");///home/Ashutosh/Documents/tempScript");
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(telnetProcess.getInputStream()));
BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(telnetProcess.getOutputStream()));
while(scan.hasNext())
{
commandInput = scan.nextLine();
output.write(commandInput);
/* if(commandInput.trim().equals("exit"))
{
output.write("exit\r");
}
else
{
output.write("((" + commandInput + ") && echo --EOF--) || echo --EOF--\r");
}
*/ output.flush();
line = input.readLine();
while(line != null && !line.trim().equals("--EOF--"))
{
System.out.println(line);
line = input.readLine();
}
if(line == null)
break;
}
/* Thread.sleep(500);
output.write("/home/Ashutosh/Documents/testfile\r");
Thread.sleep(500);
output.flush();
while((line = input.readLine())!= null)
System.out.println(line);
telnetProcess.destroy();
*/ //String s = input.readLine();
//System.out.print(s + "\r\n");
//s = input.readLine();
//System.out.print(s + "\r\n");
}
the contents of testfile which is bash script is
#!/bin/bash
ls -l
pwd
date
exit
and i also tried the following interactive script which takes input from user which i want to redirect from java code is given
#! /bin/bash
echo "Input any number form 0-3:"
read num
case $num in
0) echo "You are useless";;
1) echo "You are number 1";;
2) echo "Too suspecious";;
3) echo "Thats all man, got to go...!";;
*) echo "Cant't u read english, this is wrong choice";;
esac
read
exit
my code stops at input.readLine();
im not sure but i think i am not able to redirect the output stream
output.write(commandInput);
command is executing well but did not write i intended to on the process redirected input, that is why it hangs at readLine();
.
If somebody have already solved please let me know the solution.
From following link i tried to solve the issue but still no luck:
Java Process with Input/Output Stream
Thanks
