multithreading - Run external program from Java, read output, allow interruption

I want to launch a process from Java, read its output, and get its return code. But while it's executing, I want to be able to cancel it. I start out by launching the process:

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(args);
pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
Process proc = pb.start();

If I call proc.waitFor(), I can't do anything until the process exits. So I'm assuming I need to something like this:

while (true) {
  see if process has exited
  capture some output from the process
  decide if I want to cancel it, and if so, cancel it
  sleep for a while
}

Is this right? Can someone give me an example of how to do this in Java?

Here's an example of what I think you want to do:

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(args);
pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
Process proc = pb.start();

InputStream is = proc.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);

String line;
int exit = -1;

while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    // Outputs your process execution
    System.out.println(line);
    try {
        exit = proc.exitValue();
        if (exit == 0)  {
            // Process finished
        }
    } catch (IllegalThreadStateException t) {
        // The process has not yet finished. 
        // Should we stop it?
        if (processMustStop())
            // processMustStop can return true 
            // after time out, for example.
            proc.destroy();
    }
}

You can improve it :-) I don't have a real environment to test it now, but you can find some more information here.
