I'm not sure why you have the if/else block in the catch and instanceof, I think you can do what you want with:-

catch( ProcessExecutionException ex )
{
   // handle ProcessExecutionException
}
catch( InterruptException ex )
{
   // handler InterruptException*
}

One thing to consider, to reduce clutter, is to catch the exception inside your callable method and re-throw as your own domain/package specific exception or exceptions. How many exceptions you need to create would largely depend on how your calling code will respond to the exception.
