Hi there,
Question is about the following line:
proc.waitFor(); //try removing this line
When I keep running this program with or without this line - I cannot
see any differance. The notepad appears ok, and i can close it with no
problems too.
Could someone please explain, what is happening when i remove the
line ?
I dont really understand the explanation found in the APIs, which is:
waitFor() - causes the current thread to wait, if necessary, until
the process represented by this Process object has terminated.
Thank you.
<code>
try {
if (System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")){
// Run a OS specific program
proc = rt.exec("notepad");
}
else{
proc = rt.exec("gedit");
}
proc.waitFor(); //try removing this line
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("notepad is an unknown command.");
}
}
