Re: PATH in java

Well, it would be *good* practice to specify absolute paths to all the binaries you're calling - it's a security issue. And it also avoids accidentally calling something else.

What you can also do, is call a shell script in rt.exec, and set your path there. Then have that script call whatever command(s) you want to call.
