Try googing for it? I did "java system call exec" and got http://stein.cshl.org/jade/distrib/docs/java.lang.Runtime.html#exec(java.lang.String[]) Does that work? There might be issues with the VM security. But this is a linux list :) On Mon, 3 Mar 2003, Daukas, Stephen C wrote:

Hey guys!

I have a really short Java question for you... How does one make a system call from Java? I want to be able to run a Linux command, e.g., System("command"); in C.

The idea behind this is that I'm writing an example Java program to install an application, for example Postfix, that I may want to use as an example for Students...

Later! Steve
