That article was focused on the windows os usage of it, so they used
cmd.exe or whatever it was. bash is the shell i use in unix os.
so for me to use the html2ps program on unix i had the following code
try {
String cmd1 = "bash html2ps -o "+tmp2+".ps "+tmp2+".html ";
//cmd1
Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd1);
//wait for end of process and get exit status
int status = p1.waitFor();
if (status != 0) {
System.out.println("cmd1's status "+status);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("ExecuteCmd.main() : " + e);
}
if you're doing it on windows you need to envoke cmd.exe instead and
for that you need to put cmd.exe instead of bash.
At the end of that article he mentioned that you cannot use Runtime.exec()
like a command line. that's what I was doing, so I had to envoke a command
line to make it work basically..
