Calling Unix Shell Script from Java Program

Requirement : Calling a Unix Shell Script from Java program and returning result to the Java program from Unix Shell Script.

UNIX Code : 

1 #!/bin/bash
3 function myscript(){
4 set a = 10
5 echo ID from JSP is $id
6 echo 'i m here babe' >> /usr12/SPHI/SIR03174/sanjeev/a.txt
7 ls -lrt
8 return 122
9 }
10
11 myscript

Line 1: Most important Line the shell script. If this is missed Java module won't be able to invoke the Shell Script.
Lin 3: Name of the function, which need to be invoked by shell script at last (see line 11).
Line 4: Create a variable.
Line 5: The env variable id (expressed as $id) will be set in Java module and sent to this function while calling shell script.
Line 11: calling the Unix Function at the end of script, otherwise the code will not be invoked.

JSP Code : This will call the above Unix Shell script, pass a parameter to shell script and read the result from Unix script.
