Hi Marcus,
You can do the following (with bash):
java packageName.className 2>&1 > fileName
And then do a
ps ...|awk ...|grep ...|wc -l
after a sleep with a grep perhaps? Or you can have your program create
some kind of lock file. In the latter case you first delete the lock
file, then start the Java program and then check whether the file exists
with a time out or so.
My 2cts :)
