How to create a independant process from java?

We know that we can create a subprocess from Java using Runtime.exec() call. Is there any way to create a new independant process(i.e. without parent-child relationship) so that newly created process will remain even if the parent process is killed by operating system?

Your question is missing some information that illustrates the problem or constraint, since what you ask can be done. The following 1-line program, when executed in Windows using java xx, initiates Notepad and then exits, leaving Notepad running and the cmd window available for further use

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("Notepad.exe");.

Your code works fine in case of normal termination. But in my case, my Swing Application is killed forcefully by a windows process where it enumerates all the child processes and kills them also. Here i want my child applicaion to exist even after parent(Swing applcation) gets killed forcefully.

It sounds like you need to seek an alternative way to exit the Java app that doesn't involve using a Windows process that also kills the children.

Yes. You are right. My Java application will need to call a process which will kill and restart my application. But when the process kills my Java application, it itself got killed. So my application doesnt restart.
