StreamGobbler方法

[code]class StreamGobbler extends Thread {
InputStream is;
String type;

StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type) {
this.is = is;
this.type = type;
}

public void run() {
try {
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line=null;
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(type + ">" + line);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
// end StreamGobbler[/code]
调用:
[code]

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(moveCommand);
//any error message?
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
// any output?
StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
// kick them off
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
// any error???
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
String executeStatus = "";
if(exitVal==0) executeStatus = "success..";
if(exitVal==1) executeStatus = "failure....";

System.out.print(executeStatus);

[/code]
具体原来不知道是如何,但是效果是可以有效的监控Runtime.getRuntime.exec("")是否有效的执行完成,当执行完成后才继续执行下面的程序.希望有其中的原理
