Re: a question about using ProcessBuilder to call external command

Show all headers | View raw

Following that, I have another question on different perspective. My code:
final ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(new String[]{"/bin/sh", "-c", the_command_and_arguments});

final Process processRunSysCmd = processBuilder.start();//start a new process -- a child process

runs fine on Linux, but when on Cygwin(on Microsoft Windows), it fails due to "/bin/sh" issue. On the terminal of Cygwin, the command:
/bin/sh -c "the command and arguments"

works fine. But if calling from Java program, it is not ok. I am puzzled.

Thank you again.
