Answer 1

You can do a p.waitFor() so the thread that executed the statement waits till the process is complete. You can then do the cleanup/restart logic right after, as that code will get executed when the process dies. However I am not sure how this would work if the process hangs instead of dying, but this could be worth a try. By the way I would recommend using Java Service Wrapper and supervisord in your case if this is something you're going to do on production.
