how can I start a bash shell then while making use of kotlin coroutines send commands to it and get the stdout?

on JVM? this isn't something that the underlying Java platform provides good APIs for

[ephemient]

you could use ProcessBuilder and read/write its pipes, but a. that's blocking and b. it won't act like it's in a terminal

IntelliJ uses https://github.com/JetBrains/pty4j to wrap native code which is able to interact with terminal APIs

[ephemient]

if you just want to run commands and get their output individually though, there's no need for any of that. just use a ProcessBuilder for each

I see, thank you
