Hi,
I am running a process using the java Runtime class like so.

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("gksu rfcomm connect 0 0B:D4:91:39:66:01");

I now want to get the process ID of process p that is returned in the above statement.

I have tried using:

Field field = p.getClass().getDeclaredField("pid");

field.setAccessible(true);

this.pid=field.getInt(p); //this.pid is an int value

System.out.println("process is running +"+pid);

but the pid that is printed does not match what I get when I run the ps tool in the shell. It is important that they match because I want to run a

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("gksu kill -9 "+pid);

when I am done with the rfcomm tool.

ALTERNATIVELY:
Someone please tell me how to send a CTRL-C signal after I have run the

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("gksu rfcomm connect 0 0B:D4:91:39:66:01");

code.
