If i understand your mail correctly, you are attempting to call/run an external program. If so, then you need to get a pointer to the JVMs RunTime environment and execute your command[s] in a new process. Note that you'll need to setup the environment of the process. On a win32 platform, you'll be looking to do something like this:
public void foo (String [] myCmds) { try { // construct the the list of commands to be run based upon // - a set of cmds required to setup the environment of the process // - the user cmds in myCmds String [] cmds = runTheseCmds (myCmds); // see javadoc/google for more info Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime (); Process p = r.exec (cmds); // here you can access stdout/stderr if you like p.waitFor(); p.destroy(); } catch (...) { // see javadoc for the exceptions you need to catch } } -- Nigel Byrnes E-Commerce, Direct Line 0845 878 2922 Ricardo Arias <RicardoA@gentrac To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com.gt> cc: Subject: RV: Runtime.exec() 22/10/02 17:43 Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" -----Mensaje original----- De: Ignacio J.
