Hi https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-exec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/exec/ExecuteWatchdog.html
says ExecuteWatchdog watchdog = new ExecuteWatchdog(30000); Executer exec = new Executer(myloghandler, watchdog); exec.setCommandLine(mycmdline); int exitvalue = exec.execute(); if (Execute.isFailure(exitvalue) && watchdog.killedProcess()) { // it was killed on purpose by the watchdog } but "Executer" does not exist "Executor" does exist but it is an interface DefaultExecutor implements Executor but does not set a watchdog in the constructor [] Leo
