import java.io.*;
class RuntimeExec{
     private static boolean quit;
     public static void main(String[]args)throws IOException{
          if(args.length<1){
               System.out.println("Type in program to run");

Sorry about that stupid code, here is code that works... with deadlocks maybe??
