You need to specify each new command separately with another
-c "command". E.g.,

./xorpsh -c "configure" -c "delete interfaces interface eth2" -c "commit"

The alternative would be to have a file with those commands (one
command per new line), and then pipe it into xorpsh:
cat commands.txt | ./xorpsh

For testing purpuse try it first by hand from the command line and
once you get it working then run it inside your Java program.
