Class OsCommand

java.lang.Object
  com.partnersoft.os.OsCommand

public class OsCommand
extends java.lang.Object

An operating-system specific, native command builder and manager.

OsCommand takes care of the various issues involved in starting native processes. Naive use of Runtime.exec() can cause lots of problems - incorrect starting directory, spaces in filenames, etc.

It serves as an object-oriented builder and runner, with the actual work being passed to com.partnersoft.system.RuntimeLib methods for execution.
