Run .sh File in Java Code on Linux Machine -

my task: 1 - read excel file, parse , save data in txt file. 2 - read txt file , pass batch.sh file. batch.sh file 1 thing, picks data above mentioned txt file , save in database's table.

when run batch.sh file terminal(and give txt file), works fine. inserts records in database want.

problem is, when want same java code, batch.sh file not work. , also, no exception thrown.

some explanation: using java 7, oracle, sql-loader, linux.

additional information: if rename batch.sh file batch.bat file , run in windows environment, works fine. batch.sh file works fine if executed terminal. problem is, not working java code.

i listing java code snippet, batch.sh file , control.txt file following task.

java code:

try{     string target = new string("/path/to/batchfile/batch.sh");     runtime rt = runtime.getruntime();     process proc = rt.exec(target);     proc.waitfor();  }catch(exception e){     log.error("exception occured message : "+e.getmessage()); } 

batch.sh:

sqlldr username/password@sid control='/path/to/batchfile/control.txt' log='/path/to/batchfile/results.log' bad='/path/to/batchfile/badfile.bad' errors=5000 

control.txt:

options  ( skip=1 ) load data   infile               '/path/to/batchfile/txtfiledata.txt'              truncate table   table_name fields terminated ","           (     column_name "replace(:column_name,'-','')"       )  

p.s: have read many post regarding same issue, , tried every solution, non working. current example of java code taken stackoverflow thread.

any highly appreciated.

you'd want runtime.getruntime.exec(new string[]{"/bin/bash", "-c", "/path/to/script.txt"}) see here: how execute command parameters?
