consumeProcessErrorStream

public Thread consumeProcessErrorStream(OutputStream err)

Parameters:

consumeProcessErrorStream

public Thread consumeProcessErrorStream(StringBuffer error)

Parameters:

consumeProcessErrorStream

public Thread consumeProcessErrorStream(Writer err)

Parameters:

consumeProcessErrorStream

public Thread consumeProcessErrorStream(OutputStream err)

 

Gets the error stream from a process and reads it to keep the process from blocking due to a full buffer. The processed stream data is appended to the supplied OutputStream. A new Thread is started, so this method will return immediately.

Parameters:

err - an OutputStream to capture the process stderr.

Returns:

the Thread

Since:

1.5.2

consumeProcessErrorStream

public Thread consumeProcessErrorStream(Appendable error)

 

Gets the error stream from a process and reads it to keep the process from blocking due to a full buffer. The processed stream data is appended to the supplied Appendable. A new Thread is started, so this method will return immediately.

Parameters:

error - an Appendable to capture the process stderr.

Returns:

the Thread

Since:

1.7.5

consumeProcessOutput

public void consumeProcessOutput()

consumeProcessOutput

public void consumeProcessOutput(StringBuffer output, StringBuffer error)

Parameters:

consumeProcessOutput

public void consumeProcessOutput(OutputStream output, OutputStream error)

Parameters:

consumeProcessOutput

public void consumeProcessOutput()

 

Gets the output and error streams from a process and reads them to keep the process from blocking due to a full output buffer. The stream data is thrown away but blocking due to a full output buffer is avoided. Use this method if you don't care about the standard or error output and just want the process to run silently - use carefully however, because since the stream data is thrown away, it might be difficult to track down when something goes wrong. For this, two Threads are started, so this method will return immediately.

Since:

1.0

error - an Appendable to capture the process stderr.

waitForProcessOutput

public void waitForProcessOutput()

waitForProcessOutput

public void waitForProcessOutput(StringBuffer output, StringBuffer error)

Parameters:

waitForProcessOutput

public void waitForProcessOutput(OutputStream output, OutputStream error)

Parameters:

waitForProcessOutput

public void waitForProcessOutput()

 

Gets the output and error streams from a process and reads them to keep the process from blocking due to a full output buffer. The stream data is thrown away but blocking due to a full output buffer is avoided. Use this method if you don't care about the standard or error output and just want the process to run silently - use carefully however, because since the stream data is thrown away, it might be difficult to track down when something goes wrong. For this, two Threads are started, but join()ed, so we wait. As implied by the waitFor... name, we also wait until we finish as well.

Since:

1.6.5

waitForProcessOutput

public void waitForProcessOutput(Appendable output, Appendable error)

 

Gets the output and error streams from a process and reads them to keep the process from blocking due to a full output buffer. The processed stream data is appended to the supplied Appendable. For this, two Threads are started, but join()ed, so we wait. As implied by the waitFor... name, we also wait until we finish as well.

Parameters:

output - an Appendable to capture the process stdout.

error - an Appendable to capture the process stderr.

Since:

1.7.5

waitForProcessOutput

public void waitForProcessOutput(OutputStream output, OutputStream error)

 

Gets the output and error streams from a process and reads them to keep the process from blocking due to a full output buffer. The processed stream data is appended to the supplied OutputStream. For this, two Threads are started, but join()ed, so we wait. As implied by the waitFor... name, we also wait until we finish as well.

Parameters:

withOutputStream

public void withOutputStream(Closure closure)

Parameters:

withOutputStream

public void withOutputStream(Closure closure)

 

Creates a new buffered OutputStream as stdin for this process, passes it to the closure, and ensures the stream is flushed and closed after the closure returns. A new Thread is started, so this method will return immediately.

Parameters:

closure - a closure.

Since:

1.5.2

withWriter

public void withWriter(Closure closure)

Parameters:

withWriter

public void withWriter(Closure closure)

 

Creates a new BufferedWriter as stdin for this process, passes it to the closure, and ensures the stream is flushed and closed after the closure returns. A new Thread is started, so this method will return immediately.

Parameters:
