java.lang.Objectjava.lang.Process
public abstract class Process
An instance of a subclass of Process
is created by the
Runtime.exec
methods. Methods in Process
provide a means to send input to a process, obtain the output from a
subprocess, destroy a subprocess, obtain the exit value from a
subprocess, and wait for a subprocess to complete.
This is dependent on the platform, and some processes (like native windowing processes, 16-bit processes in Windows, or shell scripts) may be limited in functionality. Because some platforms have limited buffers between processes, you may need to provide input and read output to prevent the process from blocking, or even deadlocking.
Even if all references to this object disapper, the process continues to execute to completion. There are no guarantees that the subprocess execute asynchronously or concurrently with the process which owns this object.

destroy()
Kills the subprocess and all of its children forcibly. |

exitValue()
When a process terminates there is associated with that termination an exit value for the process to indicate why it terminated. |
abstract InputStream |
getErrorStream()
Obtain the input stream that receives data from the subprocess. |

getInputStream()
Obtain the input stream that receives data from the subprocess. |
abstract OutputStream |
getOutputStream()
Obtain the output stream that sends data to the subprocess. |

waitFor()
The thread calling waitFor will block until the subprocess
has terminated. |

waitFor
will block until the subprocess
has terminated. If the process has already terminated then the method
immediately returns with the exit value of the subprocess.
