How do i run a background process

Posted by Toon on July 30, 2001 at 6:16 AM

My java application calls another application (like notepad for example) with the runtime.exec() method. I want that the application runs in background. How do I do this? Is it possible to do this with commands? If so, wich commands? I'm working with NT4.0 and W2000
Thanks!!
