Shell Programming and Scripting

i have to pass an integer value to shell script which will mail the values to users.
I am able to pass string values like this.

try {
String[] strCmdToRun1 = new String[] { "sh", "mail.sh","hello"};
Process p1 = rtime.exec(strCmdToRun1);
BufferedReader output = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
p1.getInputStream()));

}

Please let me know how i can pass integers to a shell script from java

You need code like:

Code:

int result;
result = <whatever>
System.out.println(result);

The shell script executes the Java code like this:

Code:

result_from_java=`java your.Java.container`

Don't press your luck though. Java rarely should interact with a shell script in such a fashion.
