Hi Java Programmer,

I'm wondering isn't there any constructor for the Runtime class? I've
noticed the new keyword isn't used at all, just the getRuntime()
static method.

Thanks!

class RunOSProgram {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        Process proc;

        try {

            if (System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")){
                // Run a OS specific program
                proc = rt.exec("notepad");
            }
            else{
                proc = rt.exec("gedit");
            }

            proc.waitFor();    //try removing this line
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("notepad is an unknown command.");
        }
    }

}
