Executing shell-script with parameters from java

Question

I have been googling for some time, and everyone seems to have a different solution, none of which appear to be working for me.

I have tried both ProcessBuilder

Answer 1

In general, I would recommend that you use the ScriptEngine instead of System.getRuntime().exec
I think it will make things more easy for you.
Bare in mind you need for this JDK 6 and above.
In addition, regarding your specific problem - I really think that this issue should be configurable.
You can do the following:
A. Have in your .bash_rc or .bash_profile (for each user) define a path to the configuration
script using:
EXPORT MY_SCRIPT=


B. Read this value from java code, using
String sciprtPath = System.getenv("MY_SCRIPT") to get the value.
C. Run the script , the way you did in your code, with scriptPath variable, or using the scriptEngine.
