ExternalProcess (FlexDeploy Plugin SDK javadoc)

java.lang.Object
- flexagon.ff.common.core.externalprocess.ExternalProcess

public class ExternalProcess
extends java.lang.Object

Represents an external operating system process (e.g. a unix shell script or windows batch file). This class manages the configuration, execution, and output of such process, which are often time necessary within FlexDeploy plugin implementations.

For example,

      ExternalProcess p = new ExternalProcess(workDir, "/var/tmp/dowork.sh");
      p.setCaptureLogs(false);
      p.setWaitForProcess(true);
      p.setTimeout(5000L); // 5 secs
      p.addEnvironment("foo", "bar", false);
      p.execute();
      System.out.println(p.getReturnCode());
