launch shell from java

[pincopallo_it]

For my application I need to launch a bash shell in a directory outside
the application server.

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cd
/PINCO/job/Dmrrrfy007/provai && /PINCO/exe/msobfy730 " + serviceDate")
;

What i get is a

IOException = cd: not found

error


Any idea ?
Thanks
Gio

The error is because cd is not a "program" you can run, it's a shell
builtin. But your command does not include a shell at all, you seem to
be trying to run something else altogether.

If you just want to start an external program in a specific directory,
use a version of Runtime.exec() that lets you specify a directory.
