How do I execute Bash commands and collect the output from Java?
Hi all, basically I am writing a basic console app, and would like to be able to run commands from it, such as sudo***, halt, ifconfig, etc.
Any insight?.

You can use processBuilder API for this purpose. See this example.
untested code:
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = run.exec(bashcommand);
pr.waitFor();
BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
while ( ( String line ; line = buf.readLine() ) != null )
{
System.out.println(line);
}
