No matter what version of Runtime.exec I call I can not make a arg that has multiple words in it (*NOT* multiple args but a single one) for example if I need to issue the following command in unix I can not find a way to do the stuff in "'s as a single arg [the called program requires this... i.e. it *MUST NOT* be treated as different elements of String[] args if it was a java program]):
