* This class is used to construct new operating system processes. * A ProcessBuilder instance basically represent a * template for a new process.

Each spawned process is * independent of the ProcessBuilder object, and is * unaffected by changes in its attributes. *

*

* The following attributes define a process: *

* *

* All checks on attribute validity are delayed until start() * is called. ProcessBuilder objects are not * synchronized; the user must provide external synchronization * where multiple threads may interact with the same * ProcessBuilder object. *
