Is it possible to create virtual files (such as /proc/uptime for exanple) in java? That is, the file does not really represent a physical entity on the hard disk, but when accessed, some process returns the content.
Thanks!

You could try using FUSE to create a virtual filesystem. When mounted, file system calls (e.g. when you execute
lsin a shell) will end up calling your code.Apparently there are some Java bindings for it as well.
