Executing external commands problem

843829Jul 15 2005 — edited Jul 15 2005
Hi,
I have the following problem. I need to execute an external command on Linux (ffmpeg for example), but I want it to keep running even after my program exits.

Any ideas how this could be done? I thought Runtime.exec() is the way to go, but as soon as my program terminates, so does the execution.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan Gueorguiev
