>> Hello Roger, co-incidentally, I was experimenting with the `Process` APIs in a different area. The code snippet that we recommend here will only capture the standard output of the invoked process. Although the sentence here says "output" of a program, do you think we should make it more clearer that it's the standard output of the program? Arguably, since the snippet already uses `inputReader()` whose javadoc notes that it represents the standard output, then maybe the additional clarification isn't needed?

What you note sounds fine to me. Thank you.
