Runtime.exec problem for different OS.

[Priyanka AGARWAL]

I have a small problem.My program uses an external application which
has some environment settings.


Runtime.exec() works fine on windows when I give the env as null
I am using it as:

Runtime.getRuntime.exec(exeCmd , null , new File(workingDirecory));

But it doesnt work in unix. It doesnt take the default environment
settings in UNIX operating system.

Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks
Priyanka
