RE: ExecuteWatchdog does not really terminate the "hung" process?

Looks like my attachements got chopped somewhere along the way, so I'll
just paste the two files here since they're really short:


ExecTest.java
//////////////////////////////////
import java.io.File;

import org.apache.commons.exec.CommandLine;
import org.apache.commons.exec.DefaultExecutor;
import org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException;
import org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteWatchdog;
import org.apache.commons.exec.PumpStreamHandler;
import org.apache.commons.io.output.ByteArrayOutputStream;

public class ExecTest {

        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
                File scriptFile = new File("sleep.bat");
                CommandLine cmdLine = new CommandLine(scriptFile);
                cmdLine.addArgument("10"); // sleep 10 secs
                System.out.println("Cmd line: " + cmdLine);
                DefaultExecutor executor = new DefaultExecutor();
                ExecuteWatchdog watchdog = new ExecuteWatchdog(2 *
1000); // allow process no more than 2 secs
                executor.setWatchdog(watchdog);
                ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
                executor.setStreamHandler(new PumpStreamHandler(baos));

                long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
                try {
                        executor.execute(cmdLine);
                } catch (ExecuteException e) {
                        System.out.println(e);
                }
                System.out.println("Process completed in " +
(System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) +" millis; below is its
output");
                System.out.println(baos);
                if (watchdog.killedProcess()) {
                        System.out.println("Process timed out and was
killed.");
                }
        }

}
