As far as I know, there is no way to get the PID in Java. I guess that's
what you get for trying to support the lowest common denominator ( which you
have to do if you want to be cross platform)
A possible solution could be to write a script that calls your command and
saves the pid to a file whose name is well known, or derived from the script
name, so you could then open it from your Java code.
