If you want a shell's work done for you, execute a shell.
How do I write the output to a text file without having to use a batch
file? Things would be nice if exec() returned the output, but the
process which is returned does not do so to my knowledge.
You can use the getInputStream() method of the Process object.[*]
Or if you'd prefer to use shell redirection, run a shell as the process
and let it parse the rest of the command. Or use a ProcessBuilder,
which is supposed to be a more modern way to run processes -- I haven't
used it, so I can't say whether it's preferable or not.

What an unfortunate line break.
[*] IMHO the names getInputStream() and getOutputStream() are
poorly assigned and a source of confusion. Too late to fix them
now, of course: It's dam under the water.
