Can you show us the actual code that you are using.

hi Jolly
how do u know if the process gets started?
because if u r doing S.o.p() in A then also u'd have to probably use Process.getOutputStream() and read all output from the process A. If you do System.err.println() instead then u'd have to work with Process.getErrorStream() and read in the errors...
as Cindy suggested, it would be more helpful if u can post ur code...
