About starting a separate new process in java application

[lightning]

how to start up some servers or other applications separately by using
Runtime.exec or something else ?
Just like the shell can do,is java app has this capability to achieve
my goal without jni?
It seems that java takes the total control the whole life of the
process it starts,how can we cut the umbilical cord gracefully?

Is this app running inside of a J2EE container or stadalone? Are you
trying to daemonize something. Meaning, if the original thread exits,
this new thread continues?
