[SOLVED] where will be nohup.out file created when shell script is executed by Java Runtime?

Issue

when I'm executing shell script through java Runtime.exec(), where do I find nohup.out file.

String command = "nohup ksh /home/xyz/script.ksh &";

Runtime rtime=Runtime.getRuntime();

rtime.exec(command);

Solution

nohup only writes the output to a file if it's connected to a terminal. This won't be the case when you invoke it through exec, so the output will be written to the sub-process's stdout (which you can get through getInputStream). No nohup.out will be created anywhere.
