How am I to execute a command in Java with parameters?

I've tried

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"php","/var/www/script.php -m 2"});

which doesn't work.

String[] options = new String[]{"option1", "option2"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("command", options);

This doesn't work as well, because the m parameter is not specified.

See if this works (sorry can't test it right now)

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"php","/var/www/script.php", "-m", "2"});

This should mention that this is important to set one String per command; parameter or value. So "-m 2" might not work. This need to be "-m", "2"

Use ProcessBuilder instead of Runtime#exec().

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("php", "/var/www/script.php", "-m 2");
Process p = pb.start();

If that doesn't work: new ProcessBuilder("php", "/var/www/script.php", "-m", "2");

The following should work fine.

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("php /var/www/script.php -m 2");

Below is java code for executing python script with java.

ProcessBuilder:

  • First argument is path to virtual environment
  • Second argument is path to python file
  • Third argument is any argumrnt you want to pass to python script
public class JavaCode {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String lines = null;
        ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("/home/env-scrapping/bin/python",
                "/home/Scrapping/script.py", "arg1");
        Process process = builder.start();
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
        while ((lines = reader.readLine())!=null) {
            System.out.println("Line: " + lines);
        }
    }
}

First is virtual environment path
