You'll probably find the Java Process APIs sort of suck (which of course effects Fantom's APIs)

Hmmm.. so if I'm trying to run an fwt program, then I guess I have to put swt.jar in the cp too?

Most likely - the fan bash script spawns two different processes - and killing the parent process will not actually kill the JVM process. Hence why I invoke the pod directly using java.

I wrote code to restart a .pod in win32 with Process like so:
but in Mac osx I know the executable is now just fan so I tried:
however, this returns an ".. java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "fan" (in directory "~/dev/fan/bin") error=2, No such file or directory.." .
I know the file is there and that the directory exists, so I'm a little stumped. Thoughts?

I do something like that for Draft - might find my code useful for reference (which does work on OS X):
