I can't seem to get the waitFor() to ever return. The problem appears
in both jdk1.1.5 port and the jdk1.1.2 for FreeBSD. The waitFor() in
the Windows jdk1.1.4 seems to work fine the way I'm using it.
BTW- I'm running 2.2.5-STABLE.
Example-
import java.lang.Runtime;
import java.lang.Process;
public class WaitProblem
{
public static void main(String argv[])
throws java.io.IOException, java.lang.InterruptedException
{
String cmd[] = {"grep", "foo", "afile"};
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p;
System.out.println("Executing the command");
p = rt.exec(cmd);
System.out.println("Command should be running");
p.waitFor();
// never gets here
System.out.println("Command should be done");
}
}
