Creating a named pipe in Java with exec calls -

i'm trying create named pipe in java exec calls. have line of code

process p = runtime.getruntime().exec("/bin/sh -c \"mkfifo ~/myfifo && tail -f ~/myfifo | csh -s\""); 

but when ~/myfifo after call, not there. there reason not work?

i tried without /bin/sh -c bit, didn't work either.

thanks, erip

edit

final string [] cmds = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "\"mkfifo ~/myfifo && tail -f ~/myfifo | csh -s\""};  process p = runtime.getruntime().exec(cmds); 

if write out third argument, you'll this:

"mkfifo ~/myfifo && tail -f ~/myfifo | csh -s" 

and if try run in shell, you'll see doesn't work:

$ "mkfifo ~/myfifo && tail -f ~/myfifo | csh -s" bash: mkfifo ~/myfifo && tail -f ~/myfifo | csh -s: no such file or directory 

just remove literal quotes added:

final string [] cmds = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "mkfifo ~/myfifo && tail -f ~/myfifo | csh -s"}; 

and remember read process.getinputstream().
