Hi Martin!
The Commons Exec version I use is 1.3.
On Windows, I actually use Runtime.exec currently:
String[] command = {"cmd", "/c", "start", "/b", scriptFile.getPath() };
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
where scriptFile is a .bat containing the actual command I want to run
("java ...").
Unrelated to my setup, I am wondering if there is a canonical way to
do these things. It seems such a standard task.
If Commons Exec had an "independent process" flag, that would be perfect!
Many greetings,
Stefan
