All Implemented Interfaces:

SystemProcess

public class UnixProcess
extends PidProcess

Process implementation for UNIX PID values.

It uses the getpgid system call for checking the status and the kill one for destroying the process.

Method Details

isAlive

public boolean isAlive()
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: SystemProcess

Tests whether this process is alive.

This operation may take some time to finish.

Returns:

true if this process is alive, false if it is finished or not found.

Throws:

IOException - on IO error.

destroy

public void destroy(boolean forceful)
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: AbstractProcess

Destroys the process either forcefully or gracefully according to the given option.

Note: The process may not terminate at all. i.e. isAlive() may return true for a any period after destroy() is called. This method may be chained to waitFor() if needed.

No error is thrown if the process was already terminated.

Specified by:

destroy in class AbstractProcess

Parameters:

forceful - true if the process must be destroyed forcefully (like kill -KILL), false if it must be destroyed gracefully (like kill -TERM).

Throws:

IOException - on IO error.

kill

public boolean kill(int signal)
             throws IOException

Sends a signal to this process.

Parameters:

signal - name of the signal.

Returns:

true if this process received the signal, false if this process was not found (any more).

Throws:

IOException - on system call error.
