here is what i am trying to do...

i have a class to run system commands which extending the Thread class.
inside this class, a method called getOutput() that should return a string with the result.

the commands run successfully with no problems. all i want to do is to get the output stream in a string...


Thread t1 = new Command();
t1.getOutput(); // --> Not working of course because it is not a method of the thread class

Q: is that possible to do in another way... giving that the class extends Thread

Thanks
