Runtime Process exec() method's default timeout method

[Akshay Sahu]

Hello All,

I wrote a shell script to move files from one folder to other. (Say folder1 to folder2 and say I am trying to move 2000 files)

Now when I am executing the shell script directly, I am able to move all the files from folder1 to folder2.
When I am executing the same shell script from a standalone Java Program (Runtime.getRuntime().exec()), even then I am able to move all the files from folder1 to folder2.

But whenever I am executing the same java program from within a servlet, I am able to move only 500-688 files at one stretch.

Can anyone help me with this ? Does any process, getting executed from JVM will have a default timeout period.

Thanks and Regards,
Akshay Sahu

I'm not aware of any Runtime.exec() timeout but of course you could be running into a Servlet timeout. If not then the chances are you are not avoiding the traps detailed in http://www.javaworld.com/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html but without a view of your code it is difficult to be certain.
