Runtime.exec and ProcessBuilder.start methods create a new operating system process with the program and arguments. Many applications configure a logging subsystem to monitor application events. Logging a process start message with the program, arguments, and stack trace can identify the caller and purpose.
Logging the process start event is complementary to the process start event generated for JFR (Java Flight Recorder).
