By getruntme.exec, do you mean you’re using something like this? (borrowed from here):

import java.io.*;
public class TestExec {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C dir");
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            String line = null;
            while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Then you could kill it with p.destroy()
