[sleuthkit-developers] Sleuthkit through Java GUI

[Ultan F. <ult...@gm...>]

I have chosen to do a college project that uses the sleuth kit through a
java gui, displaying output from commands in a JText area. I can run the
linux based commands withough problem like 'dd'  but  the  sleuthkit ones
wont run. There is no problem running the sleuthkit commands from the
konsole so I presumed the java runtime exec()  would not be a problem with
them, any ideas why they wont run?
Thanks. <sle...@li...>

I haven't tried this setup before.  Can you tell if the tools are 
running or if they are exiting because of the setup?  Try to run a 
command such as 'fls image.dd > foo.txt' in the exec and see if the 
'foo.txt' file is created.  That will tell you if the command isn't 
being run or if the output isn't being properly displayed.
