I am writing a Java RMI server for Red Hat v5.1 that spawns some child
processes to help "administer" the Linux system from remote / other OSes /
Java objects living elsewhere on the internal network. IE:
Process p = null;
try {
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( command);
p.waitFor();
System.out.println( "Exit value is: " + p.exitValue());
}
I would like to know how to get the exitValue of the spawned process to be
equal to the Process ID that was just assigned.
For example, say I issue a command like:
command = "/usr/sbin/named -b /var/named/internal/named.boot"
I would like for my p.exitValue() call to equal the PID that I just
spawned. The reason I am asking this question in the forum is because I
know there are a lot of shell programming experts here... and really all my
program is doing is issuing a shell command and looking at the return
value.
Thanks,
Justin
