I tried with many different examples, but it is not working.
I would really appreciate some sample Java code to run a shell script.

You need Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...). See a very extensive example (don't forget to read the first three pages).
Keep in mind that Runtime.exec is not a shell; if you wish to execute a shell script your command line would look like
/bin/bash scriptname
That is, the shell binary you need is fully qualified (although I suspect that /bin is always in the path). You can not assume that if
myshell> foo.sh
runs,
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("foo.sh");
also runs as you are already in a running shell in the first example, but not in the Runtime.exec.
A tested example (Works on My Linux Machine(TM)), mosly cut-and-past from the previously mentioned article:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class ShellScriptExecutor {
static class StreamGobbler extends Thread {
InputStream is;
String type;
StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type) {
this.is = is;
this.type = type;
}
public void run() {
try {
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line = null;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(type + ">" + line);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length < 1) {
System.out.println("USAGE: java ShellScriptExecutor script");
System.exit(1);
}
try {
String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
String[] cmd = new String[2];
cmd[0] = "/bin/sh"; // should exist on all POSIX systems
cmd[1] = args[0];
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println("Execing " + cmd[0] + " " + cmd[1] );
Process proc = rt.exec(cmd);
// any error message?
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc
.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
// any output?
StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc
.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
// kick them off
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
// any error???
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Shell Script test.sh code
#!/bin/sh
echo "good"
Java Code to execute shell script test.sh
try {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(new String[]{"/bin/sh", "./test.sh"});
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
