Hi Susan, you might check the FAQ (http://commons.apache.org/exec/faq.html)
"Are child processes automatically killed? - This functionality is largely depend on the operating system - on Unix it works mostly and under Windows not at all (see Bug 4770092). In terms of stability and cross-platform support try to start your applications directly and avoid various wrapper scripts."
So starting the process directly will solve your problem ... Cheers, Siegfried Goeschl On 12/23/10 7:31 PM, Susan Jolly wrote:
I'm running a batch file with arguments as in the tutorial. I think the problem may be that Acrobat Reader (at least on Windows) isn't intended as a command line program. I note similar weird behavior when I just try to run the batch file directly. The tutorial approach seems to work well on my own small Java command line programs developed as test cases. Thanks for the feedback. I'll let you know if I have any problems running other executables. Susan Jolly
