Question

I am using Ubuntu right now and I am able to open a terminal through Java code. But my problem is that when I close my program after the terminal has been opened, I will see a message saying that the terminal I opened has been closed?

Here is my code for opening the terminal:

String command = "gnome-terminal -x bash cd ~/Desktop";
String cmd[] = { "gnome-terminal", "-x", "bash", "-c", "sudo gedit ~/Desktop/wat.txt" };
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();      
Process pr = rt.exec(cmd);

You can call waitFor() on Process. The API says:

causes the current thread to wait, if necessary, until the process represented by this Process object has terminated.

returns the exit value of the process. By convention, 0 indicates normal termination.

If you want your programm to continue function, then be sure to call your code in separate Thread.
