No saying "sh -c .." means you're creating a new shell and then exec'ng in there. In that case you might as well just say "java .." (without the exec at all).
Doesn't having "exec java" at the end give the return code of the java command to the calling shell? That's what's spsed to happen. Sanjiva.
