Roshan Naik commented on FLUME-1661:
------------------------------------

Brock the situation is not as tricky. Try the below code. Here test() works for 
all commands if 'shell' config is specified). test2() works for simple commands 
(i.e current use cases).  The assumption is that the "/bin/sh -c" comes from 
the 'shell' config.

{code}
    // invoke complex commands through shell  - when the 'shell' config is 
specified
    static void test(String cmd) throws Exception { 
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "/bin/sh", 
"-c", cmd });

        BufferedReader out = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
        Thread.sleep(10L);
        System.out.println("cmd = " + cmd);
        System.out.println("out = '" + readAll(out) + "'");
    }

    // invoke simple commands directly  - when the 'shell' config is NOT 
specified
    static void test2(String cmd) throws Exception {
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);  //we can also use 
ProcesBuilder

        BufferedReader out = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
        Thread.sleep(10L);
        System.out.println("out2 = '" + readAll(out) + "'");
        System.out.println();
    }

    static String readAll(BufferedReader reader) throws IOException {
        String result = "";
        String line;
        while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            result += line + "\n";
        }
        return result;
    }
{code}
