Method Detail

stdout

public String stdout()

Get stdout from the process, after its finish (the method will wait for the process and log its output).

The method will check process exit code, and if it won't be equal to zero a runtime exception will be thrown. A non-zero exit code usually is an indicator of problem. If you want to ignore this code, use stdoutQuietly() instead.

Returns:

Full stdout of the process

stdoutQuietly

public String stdoutQuietly()

Get stdout from the process, after its finish (the method will wait for the process and log its output).

This method ignores exit code of the process. Even if it is not equal to zero (which usually is an indicator of an error), the method will quietly return its output. The method is useful when you're running a background process. You will kill it with Process.destroy(), which usually will lead to a non-zero exit code, which you want to ignore.

Returns:

Full stdout of the process
