Hi all,

Could someone please help me with this: I am trying to run a dos/unix command within my java application by using:

String command = "ping hostname";
try {
(Runtime.getRuntime()).exec(command);
}
catch (Exception e) {}

It works fine except for the fact that I don't know how to get the output. For instance, when I issue the command "Ping hostname", it would execute successufully, but I'd like to have the output redirected to a text file: ie:
(Runtime.getRuntime()).exec("ping > result.txt");
I thought that this method should work, but it seems that no output text file is being generated.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

TN
