      final Process proc = builder.start();
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream()));
      String s = null;
      while ((s = in.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(s);
      }
    } catch (IOException e) {

            String line = null; 
            try {
                while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
                    System.out.println(line);
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
