You can use a try/catch block similar to the following shown code fragments:

...
try
  {
      if (windows)
      {
          // cmd = prog args or rundll etc.
           cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + args;
           Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
       }
       else
       {

           // UNIX cmd = prog args
           cmd = UNIX_PATH + " " + UNIX_FLAG;
           Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

             try
              {
                 // wait for exit code -- if it's 0, command worked,
                 // otherwise we need to start the related prog up.
                  int exitCode = p.waitFor();

                  if (exitCode != 0)
                  {
                     // Command failed, start up the prog

                     // cmd = 'prog options'
                     cmd = UNIX_PATH + " " + args;
                      p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
                   }
               }
               catch(InterruptedException x)
                {
                    System.err.println("yourappname: Error bringing up
prog='" + cmd + "'");
                    System.err.println("yourprog: Caught: " + x);
                }
           }
