Method Detail

runAndGrab

public static String runAndGrab(String[] argArray,
                                String input,
                                int timeout)
                         throws InterruptedException,
                                ProcessRunner.CommandFailedException,
                                IOException
Run the external process, applying a timeout if specified, feeding it input on stdin and gathering the results from stdout. If a non-zero exit status is returned, we throw an exception containing the output string from stderr. The input and output are encoded using the system-default charset.

Throws:
IOException - If something goes wrong starting the process.
InterruptedException - If process exceeds the given timeout.
ProcessRunner.CommandFailedException - If the process exits with non-zero status.

                                IOException
Run the external process, applying a timeout if specified, feeding it input on stdin and gathering the results from stdout. If a non-zero exit status is returned, we throw an exception containing the output string from stderr.
