Hi Florian,
As for escaping, is there an existing API for encoding and decoding those?
A human won't have trouble figuring out the few cases where there might be
some ambiguity due to "," in the string.
The test will be more complicated as well and I think added that the
extra complexity
is not a good investment.
Thanks, Roger

They are proposed to be logged using the PlatformLogger at Level.FINE
which will not be logged by default. The environment is useful in some
cases,
but verbose, that it should be Logged at FINER. The pid of the spawned
process
logged as well for traceability.
It may make sense to expose something like getProcessID() to the
public because it is independently useful on systems with /proc.
In the src/solaris version, Arrays::toString(Object[]) does not quote
the arguments, so the argument boundary is lost in the logging. I
think something that performs quoting (using the Java language rules,
not shell) would be helpful in this context. Although on non-Windows
platforms, this information can easily be obtained with tools such as
strace or truss.
