Using the latch seems reasonable but the existing wait/sleep times do not. Why waitFor(10000) if the main thread is going to interrupt you after a sleep(1000) ???
It's testing that Process.waitFor will be interrupted by Thread.interrupt so it requires a thread to block in waitFor. Using sleeps is always going to be problematic as the load on test machines is unpredictable but I think Rob's proposed change does make this test a bit more robust.
