the statement while (pList.hasMoreElements()) is always false in the code so it is not executing the rest of code — Vamsi, Nov 08 '11 at 10:40

The command under Linux is dmesg | grep tty

I think you need to implement the abstract class Process and call the Runtime.exec() method, that returns a Process object.

Please read here and here.

Hope this helps.
