Java and Linux environment

[Tim Frink]

Hi,

I've a Java application that allows to perform a Linux system via
Runtime.exec( string ) [the string must be defined within the GUI].

My problem is that during the syscall the Linux environment is unknown,
i.e. information from ~/.bashrc ... are missing. I'm running the
application via "java -jar APP.jar" and am using

java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode)

Do you know a way to provide "java" with my Linux environment
or to perform the "exec"-invocation with known Linux environment?

Regards,
Tim

Can you exec a shell and let that execute the command?

Or try the suggestion made in clj.help where you multi-posted your question.
