The shell can operate in one of 3 modes -
Mode 0 - Run command, waiting until the command completes to return
Mode 1 - Run the command asynchronously, but don't accept input
Mode 2 - Run the command in interactive mode
It sounds like you need the command to run in Mode 2 because you're
doing more than simply executing a command.
Dim i_jErr As Integer
Dim s_jResult As String
Dim sh_MyJavaShell As New Shell
sh_MyJavaShell.Mode = 0
sh_MyJavaShell.timeout = -1
// Start a cmd shell and send the commands in WriteLine calls
sh_MyJavaShell.Execute "cmd.exe"
sh_MyJavaShell.WriteLine "cd '/Path to/my Directory'"
sh_MyJavaShell.WriteLine "java -cp MyClasses.jar path.to.MyClass
arg1 arg2"
sh_MyJavaShell.WriteLine "exit"
// Loop until the task finishes
Do
App.DoEvents(20)
Loop Until Not sh_MyJavaShell.IsRunning
// grab the results and use them as needed
i_jErr = sh_MyJavaShell.ErrorCode
s_jResult = sh_MyJavaShell.ReadAll
Granted, that's from off the top of my head, but it should get you
pointed in the right direction.
Does that help? There are also some shell examples in the Examples
folder on the RB distribution.

Hello!
Well, I've been trying to avoid this as long as possible, but I
can't seem to find a working alternative. I need to execute the
following commands within a shell:
cd /Path to/my Directory
java -cp MyClasses.jar path.to.MyClass arg1 arg2
Upon the completion of the java command, the shell can terminate/go
to sleep/go out of context/whatever.
How do I do this with in the RB shell class? I've read over the LR
and the shell examples; but, I can't seem to get a program to
successfully execute this. I'm confused.
What mode should the shell be in?
Do I use .execute, or .writeline?
Do I have to do .execute("sh") first?
I'm using RB2007r1 on WinXP Home.
Thanks! Any help is greatly appreciated!
