My first suggestion is that you should ask this on a more appropriate
list. My second is that you should use the java.io.File class, since
it can do everything you indicate above. My third one is that you
should check out the java.lang.Runtime class (particularly the exec
method) and the java.lang.Process class (particularly the exitValue
method).
You probably could've found this answer in ten minutes searching of
the comp.lang.java.* newsgroups at Dejanews.
