execute shell script from a java app

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Peter_H=F6ltschi?=]

Dear all
I'm able now to execute a shell script from my java application. But how
can I get the results from the shell and safe them in variables? Lets
say my shell scripts executes 'arch'. The return value would be 'i686'.
How can I get this value in a String variable?

Thanks Peter

Runtime.exec() returns a Process object. That allows you to get the
standard output of the programm as an InputStream.
