Is it possible to execute iwconfig (or any other shell based program) from a java application and then parse the output somehow?
If yes, how?

+1 for teaching me a new API. It's new since 1.5 and I'd never seen it before. Old school was `Runtime.exec()`. – Carl Smotricz Dec 09 '09 at 18:15

That's right. Check out the inimitable Roedy Green for a nice exegesis of the API. http://mindprod.com/jgloss/exec.html#PROCESSBUILDER – Jonathan Feinberg Dec 09 '09 at 18:38
