Problem is that I need to associated the pid to individual process (gotten from Runtime.getRuntime().exec("gksu rfcomm connect 0 0B:D4:91:39:66:01");) in the java app. Now since I am using Threading ie. the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(" gksu rfcomm connect 0 0B:D4:91:39:66:01"); is being called within a thread many times for the different array of devices that I have set on my machine I have to make sure I do not kill a process that has not completed its task.
what you need to do is run rfcomm from within a shell script and invoke the shell script from java :
gksu rfcomm connect 0 0B:D4:91:39:66:01 & lastpid=$! echo "${LASTPID}
$! - returns the pid of the last forked process which in this case is the rfcomm process ...
to check if its still running you can use pgrep or pipe-filter ps -ax ... _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AopdHkqSqKL-dHlQVTMxU1VBdU1BSWJxdy1f... ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
