An Example: Executing Linux Shell Script from a Java Application

First, write an linux shell script, that used to print 101 number -- 1-100 . words after # are comments
    i=0             #declare a variable and set it to 0
    while [$i -le 100]   #to judge if i less equal 100
    do            # loop
    echo $i    # print the value of i
    let i = $i + 1           # and implemented by other two ways: a.i=$(($i+1))  b.i='expr $i + 1'
    done
Then we can write an application to execute above script
package edu.hnu.second;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class AnotherImpl {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            String[] cmd = { "/bin/bash",
                    "/home/develop/workspace/ShellTest/display0to100" }; //  this path is the location where above   
                                                                                                                         // script located
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            String line = br.readLine();
            while(line !=null)
            {
                System.out.println(line);
                line = br.readLine();
            }
            br.close();
            p.getErrorStream().close();
            p.getOutputStream().close();
            int retVal = p.waitFor();
            System.out.println("wait " + retVal);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}
