Yep.  That means that the command completed successfully (at least
that's the convention on *nix).

See
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/lang/Process.html.
java.lang.Runtime.exec returns a java.lang.Process object to you.
That Process object has methods

    getOutputStream()
    getInputStream()
    getErrorStream()
    exitValue()

You are looking to getOutputStream from the Process.  The waitFor
method returns the exitValue.

HTH,
