Correct. Runtime.exec() and ProcessBuilder.start() both
throw security exceptions in sandboxed apps.

Logging is already implemented. If the child apps.
utilise the logger we provide, we are set. It was the
'legacy components' that use no logging that I am
more interested in at the moment.
But it seems there is no way. So I'll 'try' to redirect
the streams, then immediately after that (before the
'catch'), add the 'view output' menu item.
