Hi
Maybe, this has already been addressed here before:
I am trying to run an external shell script from my Java program and I am seeing an exception as follows:
java.io.IOException: Not enough space
    at java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec(Native Method)
    at java.lang.UNIXProcess.<init>(UNIXProcess.java:62)
    at java.lang.Runtime.execInternal(Native Method)
    at java.lang.Runtime.execInternal(Compiled Code)
    at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Compiled Code)
    at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Compiled Code)
    at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Compiled Code)

Any help regarding this would be appreciated.

Thank you

See "exec" in the Java glossary. I suspect you are accidentally
trying to spawn a process on the A: drive.

ok.....i have noticed that java does an extremely poor job of garbage
collecting...i am running an applet with alot of classes.....tons of
listeners and components. is there a quick and dirty way of clearing this
crap out of memory or do i have to deallocate everything (all the way down
to the listerer level)????????

Java does a terrific job of garbage collection. However, if you've
circular references to root level classes due to anonymous inner
classes (likely your listeners), java will not garbage collect them
because they are accessable from a root node.

You need to have the listeners remove themselves as listeners from the
objects they're monitoring. Java's GC doesn't make that decision for
you. The tool is wonderful if you're using it right.
