Not sure what you are trying to do. In general, you can sniff the OS to see what flavor it is and then tell the JRE runtime to execute a command. eg, as an example that commands a browser to goto a specific url ....
if (windows)
{
// cmd = 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://...'
cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
}
Note: this would be an Application, and NOT an Applet. This a forte of a a Unix/python combination which works very well for the whole of the 'nix platforms.
