Hi,
I'm having problems trying to use exec() in java.lang.Runtime in a Java
application (so paranoia settings shouldn't be a problem). I'm runnung JDK 1.0
under Solaris 2.5. I traced the origin of the problem back to the call:
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process myProcess = run.exec("uname");
When I run this I get:
pid 28209 status 6
Received sigchild for 28209 exit=6
/usr/include/sys/errno.h lists the following for error 6:
#define ENXIO 6 /* No such device or address */
What am I doing wrong? I actually want to run some shell scripts but I tried
'uname' because it is a system call, in case java's exec() is limited to that.
I'd like to use 'myProcess' to get an input stream so I can get the results back
from the call.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Rick
