Scala Process – Capture Standard Out and Exit Code

I have the following utility method for running commands:

import sys.process._
def runCommand(cmd: Seq[String]): (Int, String, String) = {
  val stdoutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream
  val stderrStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream
  val stdoutWriter = new PrintWriter(stdoutStream)
  val stderrWriter = new PrintWriter(stderrStream)
  val exitValue = cmd.!(ProcessLogger(stdoutWriter.println, stderrWriter.println))
  stdoutWriter.close()
  stderrWriter.close()
  (exitValue, stdoutStream.toString, stderrStream.toString)
}

As you can see, it captures stdout, stderr and result code.
