But since I am spawning this command inside another program say A.java I will have to explicitly set the shell before running A.java. Hopefully the command can see the shell settings.

Try something like this:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
   new String[] { "/bin/ksh", ... } );

where your other arguments replace the elipses.
Here's an example:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( new String[] { "/bin/ksh", "-c",
   "echo hello" } );

Then you have to get the stdout and stderr InputStreams, etc.
If you're unfamiliar with that part then post again.
