I am using the following string and Java code to create a user on a Linux box via Java.
...
String x = "/usr/sbin/useradd -g users -s /bin/bash -c 'FIRST M LAST, STERK,DIV-DIS-OFF,123-456-2913' -p 2342asdfa231rcawef09 -d /home/flast -m flast";
RunCommand(x);
...However, upon execution it spins a list of the usage of useradd... It has something to do with the spaces in the comment field I think. Anyone have any insight as to a solution to this problem?
public static String RunCommand (String cmd)
{
String s = null;
String results = null;
try {
// run the Unix "ps -ef" command
// using the Runtime exec method:
// Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps -ef");
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
// read the output from the command
//System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println(s);
results = results + s;
}
// read any errors from the attempted command
//System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println(s);
results = results + s;
}
return results.toString();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
System.out.println("[RunCommand] - ERROR: " + e.getMessage());
return e.getMessage();
}
}
