# process-warden

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/johnlcox/process-warden.png)](https://travis-ci.org/johnlcox/process-warden)

process-warden provides a safer wrapper around the built in Java Process and ProcessBuilder classes for executing native subprocesses.  

## Usage

With Java 6:

```java

FinalizedProcessBuilder pb = new FinalizedProcessBuilder("myCommand", "myArg");

FinalizedProcess process = pb.start();

try {

  int returnVal = process.waitFor(5000);

} finally {

  process.close();

}

```

With Java 7 and try-with-resources:

```java

FinalizedProcessBuilder pb = new FinalizedProcessBuilder("myCommand", "myArg");

try (FinalizedProcess process = pb.start()) {

  int returnVal = process.waitFor(5000);

}

```

Now With Stream Gobbling.  The StreamGobbler will gobble up the input stream, error stream, or both in a separate thread to prevent from blocking your thread.

```java

FinalizedProcessBuilder pb = new FinalizedProcessBuilder("myCommand", "myArg");

pb.gobbleStreams(true);

try (FinalizedProcess process = pb.start()) {

  int returnVal = process.waitFor(5000);

}

```

## Installation

Add it as a maven dependency:

```xml

  com.leacox.process
