Couldn't you use ProcessTools.startProcess(name, processBuilder, 
readyPredicate) to start the test process and make sure it prints 
"ready" line before continuing?

Instead of waiting here for a really long time you could block on 
reading from stdin. The driver application would then just send a 
shutdown message over pipe when it is safe for the test application to die.
