In general, it is not possible to run a shell script in Java. However, you can run the script from Java, provided that the shell is installed on your machine along with the commands mentioned in the shell script.

I take it that you want to run a UNIX shell script on your Windows XP machine. If that is the case, you need to install something like Cygwin.

No. It is not possible. You will need to rewrite the script as a BAT file that uses native windows commands.

Have a look at this tutorial http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0014.html

I believe this question is duplicate of below post
