jdk1.6: Runtime.exec fails always

[Ronald Klop]

When I run this programm, I always get exitCode == 255.
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_01-p1"

1.6.0_01-p1-root_12_aug_2007_22_50-b00)

I found it with other code, but this is my small testcase to reproduce it.

Can people reproduce this?

Ronald.



import java.io.IOException;

final class ExecTest {

     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException,  
InterruptedException {
         Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
         Process p = rt.exec("/bin/ls");
         int exitCode = p.waitFor();
         System.out.println("ExitCode: " + exitCode);
     }

}
