Streams are not closed which leads to "too many open files errors" #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a small app, which loops over a shell command for several times
2. After some iterations the programm will abort with a "Too many open files" 
exception

The main point is, that each Process has 3 streams associated with it (input, 
output and error). All three streams need to be closed individually. As far as 
I can see the currently committed code 
(https://code.google.com/p/roottools/source/browse/trunk/Developmental/RootTools
_sdk3_generic/src/com/stericson/RootTools/execution/Shell.java) the streams are 
not closed.

proc.destroy() may not close all the streams. It says so in the documentation, 
but here someone says it is OS dependend:

g-javas-runtimegetruntimeexec.html for reference (although I would not use 
IOUtils just for that).

I am using v3-beta, release on June 30th. Please provide an updated JAR, when 
the issue is fixed.
