Capturing stdout when calling Runtime.exec

by

You need to capture both the std out and std err in the process. You can then write std out to a file/mail or similar.

See this article for more info, and in particular note the StreamGobbler mechanism that captures stdout/err in separate threads. This is essential to prevent blocking and is the source of numerous errors if you don’t do it properly!
