    <p>I wrote a java class in order to perform multithreaded tasks, each task running an external process. The process is in charge of converting ".chp" files into ".txt" files. It is written in C.</p> <p>This process breaks at one point because it disappears when looking at a "top" in my terminal (probably due to a corrupted chp file). The problem is that the process in my java thread does not return. The "process.waitFor()" seems to go on forever (at least 'til the 12 hours I specified for the ExecutorService.</p> <p>Am I doing something wrong (not catching an exception?)? I tried setting a class variable of type String in MyThread and putting an error message in place of throwing a new RuntimeException, then print the String at the end of the main, but the thread code doesn't reach to this point. It still gets stuck at the waitFor().</p> <p>Shouldn't the process terminate once the C program has failed?</p> <p>The program prints on the terminal (cf: MyThread):</p> <pre><code>A B C </code></pre> <p>main:</p> <pre><code>String pathToBin = "/path/to/bin"; List&lt;MyThread&gt; threadList = new ArrayList&lt;MyThread&gt;(); for (File f : folderList) { File[] chpFilesInFolder = f.listFiles(new FilenameFilter() { @Override public boolean accept(File dir, String name) { if (name.endsWith(".chp")){ return true; }else{ return false; } } }); File chpFile = writeChpFiles(chpFilesInFolder); String[] cmd = {pathToBin, "--arg1", chpFile, "--out-dir", outputFolder}; MyThread t = new MyThread(cmd, f, chpFilesInFolder); threadList.add(t); } ExecutorService threadExecutor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(4); for(MyThread th : threadList){ threadExecutor.execute(th); } threadExecutor.shutdown(); try { threadExecutor.awaitTermination(12, TimeUnit.HOURS); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } </code></pre> <p>MyThread:</p> <pre><code>class MyThread extends Thread{ private String[] cmd; private File chpFolder; private File[] chpFilesInFolder; public MyThread(String[] cmd, File chpFolder, File[] chpFilesInFolder){ this.cmd = cmd; this.chpFolder = chpFolder; this.chpFilesInFolder = chpFilesInFolder; } @Override public void run() { Process process = null; try{ System.err.println("A "); ProcessBuilder procBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(cmd); procBuilder.redirectErrorStream(true); System.err.println("B"); process = procBuilder.start(); System.err.println("C"); process.waitFor(); System.err.println("D"); if(process.exitValue()!=0) System.err.println("ERROR !"+process.exitValue()); System.err.println("E"); }catch(IOException e){ e.printStackTrace(); }catch(InterruptedException e){ e.printStackTrace(); }catch(Throwable e){ e.printStackTrace(); }finally{ System.err.println("F"); if(process!=null) {try { process.destroy();} catch(Exception err) {err.printStackTrace();}} } File[] txtFilesInFolder = chpFolder.listFiles(new FilenameFilter() { @Override public boolean accept(File dir, String name) { if (name.endsWith(".chp.txt")){ return true; }else{ return false; } } }); if (txtFilesInFolder.length==chpFilesInFolder.length){ for (File chp : chpFilesInFolder) { chp.delete(); } File logFile = new File(chpFolder, "apt-chp-to-txt.log"); if (logFile.exists()){ logFile.delete(); } }else{ throw new RuntimeException("CHPs have not all been transformed to TXT in "+chpFolder.getAbsolutePath()); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
