How to execute system commands (linux/bsd) using Java
<p>I am attempting to be cheap and execute a local system command ('uname -a') in Java. I am looking to grab the output from uname and store it in a String. What is the best way of doing this? Current code:</p>

<pre><code>public class lame
{

public static void main(String args[])
{

try
{

Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("uname -a");

p.waitFor();

BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));

String line=reader.readLine();

while(line!=null)
{

System.out.println(line);

line=reader.readLine();
}

}
catch(IOException e1) {}
catch(InterruptedException e2) {}

System.out.println("finished.");
}
}
</code></pre>
