Execute sh file from Java

问题

I am trying to execute an sh file via the following code (CentOS machine btw)

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh " + file.getPath());

I use this code for windows and it works fine

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start " + file.getPath());

Could it be because I'm using Screen in the .sh file? I am also using the java command to start the server so maybe I need to include these?

Here are the contents of the sh file

#!/bin/sh
BINDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -fn "$0")")
cd "$BINDIR"
screen -S PrivateServer java -Xms2048M -Xmx2048M -jar somejar.jar -o true

I am also running this code from a shutdown hook, could this be the issue? This is intended because the software is a game server and it is intended so that the user can use a restart command or have it auto restart without needing to setup anything them self.

Edit: I decided to output the errors to a text file and found this "Must be connected to a terminal." any ideas? I believe this is an issue to do with using screen.

回答1:

Since you confirmed that the file has executable permission, try to pass the argument as follows:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"/bin/sh" ,"-c", file.getPath()});

So mainly provide the complete path for sh and use -c

Yo need to set the permissions for the operation, usually the "sh" files require execution permission in order to run this scripts from a Java Application. You must run the Java application as root (sudo su) or sudo java -jar. Or set full access to your script "sudo chmod 777 ..." well, not full access, but at least chmod +x for any user that wants to execute your script.

Best regards.
