Accessing unix system using java

[abhishek.sinha]

I am trying to access a unix system using java .

Main idea is to run the command in unix shell and get the output and display in a window created in java

[dowell]

Is the application running from windows or from unix???

[danielstoner]

It is really not clear what you are trying to do. Just run a Java application on UNIX? Do you try to run a Java application from a Telnet session? Explain better.

Here the output of two commands are shown in JTextArea

Code:

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Shell {
	private static String command = "ls -Als";
	private static String command2 = "cat /etc/profile";
	private String string="";
	public static void main(String[] args) throws java.io.IOException {
		JFrame frame=new JFrame("Output");
		JTextArea textArea=new JTextArea();
		textArea.setEditable(false);
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.pack();
		frame.getContentPane().add(textArea);
		frame.setSize(500,800);
		frame.setVisible(true);
		try {
	        
	        Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
	    
	        // Get the input stream and read from it
	        InputStream in = child.getInputStream();
	        int c;
	        while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
	            textArea.append(String.valueOf((char)c));
	        }
	        in.close();
	    } catch (IOException e) {
	    }
try {
	        
	        Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command2);
	    
	        // Get the input stream and read from it
	        InputStream in = child.getInputStream();
	        int c;
	        while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
	            textArea.append(String.valueOf((char)c));
	        }
	        in.close();
	    } catch (IOException e) {
	    }
		

}
}
