I am using Java Runtime to run commands, including certain CVS commands.
I use:

process = runtime.exec ("cmd /C cvs...");

format for running the Process in Java
I need to have the option of stopping it. For this I use the Java Process destroy method

process.destroy();


However only the cmd is stopped not the cvs process. It continues to run as a separate process without the cmd process as the parent.
There are many references to this on the internet, but I haven't found any satisfactory solution. Thanks
