Need help in quitting a unix process from java after a certain time

Hi All ,

I am executing a shell script through java .

Runtime run=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc=run.exec("/root/umdhanas/New/hello.sh");

Now my requirement is i need to monitor from my java program as if the script execution takes more than 2 mins, i should kill that process from my java program. Not sure as how it can be done. Please help me on this.

Use the ProcessBuilder instead of the runtime call.

ProcessBuilder (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)

Edit: You can use the Process object to terminate the sup-process.
