             Project: Commons Exec
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.1
         Environment: RedHat Enterprise Linux 64bit, JDK 1.6.0_25 64bit.

I want to run a command from a shell script with and make sure the process will 
be destroyed after a fixed timeout, especially if it asks for user input or has 
sleep commands inside.

{code:title=Java}
DefaultExecutor executor = new DefaultExecutor();
executor.setStreamHandler(new PumpStreamHandler(System.out, System.err));
ExecuteWatchdog watchDog = new ExecuteWatchdog(3000);
executor.setWatchdog(watchDog);
CommandLine command = new CommandLine("./client.sh");
int exitValue = executor.execute(command);
System.out.println(exitValue);
{code}

I run this code on the server like this:
{code}
java -cp .:commons-exec-1.1.jar App
{code}

*Problem 1.* I want to run {{sudo}} in order to execute a script as a different 
user:
{code:title=client.sh}
#!/bin/bash
sudo -u occ02 /apps/occ02/catalina_base/bin/restart-occ.sh
{code}
In case of a misconfiguration of {{/etc/sudoers}} this prompts me for a 
password.
{code}
Password:
{code}
And terminates only after about 5 minutes, not 3 seconds:
{code}
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Process 
exited with an error: 143 (Exit value: 143)
        at 
org.apache.commons.exec.DefaultExecutor.executeInternal(DefaultExecutor.java:377)
        at 
org.apache.commons.exec.DefaultExecutor.execute(DefaultExecutor.java:160)
        at 
org.apache.commons.exec.DefaultExecutor.execute(DefaultExecutor.java:147)
        at App.destroy2(App.java:51)
        at App.main(App.java:21)
{code}
Only if I use the {{-S}} option the process is killed after about 4 seconds:
{code}
Password:
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Process 
exited with an error: 1 (Exit value: 1)
        at 
org.apache.commons.exec.DefaultExecutor.executeInternal(DefaultExecutor.java:377)
        at 
org.apache.commons.exec.DefaultExecutor.execute(DefaultExecutor.java:160)
        at 
org.apache.commons.exec.DefaultExecutor.execute(DefaultExecutor.java:147)
        at App.destroy2(App.java:51)
        at App.main(App.java:21)
{code}

*Problem 2.* I want to prevent a too long {{sleep}}:
{code:title=client.sh}
#!/bin/bash
sleep 900
{code}
The Process is not destroyed!

These issues are currently blocking us to use commons-exec in production. The 
problems were not visible when I tested on my development machine with Windows 
7 64bit and JDK 1.6.0_25, 64bit. 

Btw, with the {{ProcessBuilder}} from the JDK the process is destroyed in both 
cases:
{code}
ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("./client.sh");
Process process = builder.start();
Thread.sleep(3000);
process.destroy();
{code}

Best regards,
Rusi
