java 关闭子进程吗,杀死Java中调用的子进程的问题

From within my program, I invoke a Linux process, read the output from that process, process it and then sleep until the next iteration. The problem I'm having is that the process I call doesn't always die, even when I do a childProcess.destroy(). Here's the code:

while(true) {

Process childProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("./getData");

InputStream input = childProcess.getInputStream();

BufferedReader inPipe = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));

while((lineRead = inPipe.readLine()) != null) {

// do stuff

}

childProcess.destroy();

inPipe.close();

input.close();

}

The vast majority of the time, ./getData runs, exits gracefully and my program works as it should. But....sometimes it doesn't exit and just sits there consuming CPU. I need a way of killing it off. I also tried adding this BEFORE I invoke it but this didn't work:

Process killGetData = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("pkill -9 getData");

killGetData.destroy();

I'm guessing that perhaps I'm getting stuck in the inner while() loop.

Any thoughts, ideas and tips gratefully received. Many thanks in advance

You must close the input pipe to the child process to terminate it. Add

childProcess.getOutputStream().close();

(it's an output stream for the parent process but the input for the child).

[EDIT] Also don't forget to call childProcess.waitFor() to clean up the zombie process.
