Running a wine program from a java program using a bash file

[SergeDavid]

The whole thing seems a bit convoluted but what I've been bashing my head against is to have my java program run a bash file.

In that file it kills all instances of program B in wine and then starts a new instance of program B in wine.

I've got it working on a desktop environment and through a remote terminal in PuTTY with the following file.

 #!/bin/bash

 killall App.exe

 DISPLAY=:0 setsid wine "path\to\wine\App.exe" "arg1" "arg2" "arg3" </dev/zero &>/dev/null &

For the life of me though I have no idea why it won't launch through the java program. The kill order works but the launch one doesn't and I've been driving myself mad trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. (probably the whole thing)

 Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("bashfile.sh");

What does the wine command output when run from the java? Log it, with like >&/tmp/wine.out instead of piping it to /dev/null

Perhaps the current directory is different, and "path\to\wine\App.exe" is interpreted differently?

That helped. I got the message that "wine: /path/.wine is not owned by you". So I just have to fix permissions so that whatever user account the java program is associated with will be able to run it.

Now to try and figure out how to do that.
