Oops forgot to mention that bit, CD is not an actually system command
but rather a shell command. So before you can used cd you need to run a
shell.....
so if you make a String array like so
String[] command = {"/bin/csh", "-c", "cd /tmp; mkdir ItWorked"};
now do
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
you'll have a directory.
If you haven't already, have a look at Alan's post. He points out that
it is cheaper to run commands like that inside Java ,using the class
java.io.File, rather than to start a seperate sub process and run
something on the command line.
