see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/exec.html

the only handle you have on the child process is the Process object.
It gives you very little power. All you can do pretty well is feed it
stdin chars and look at std out and std err. You can look at the exit
value, and kill the child. But other than that, the child is on its
own.

There are ways of getting finer control, but that requires JNI on the
mother Java and hooks in the child.
