Is there a way I can get appium to start within the code? -

i trying launch appium server within code writing using java. tried following command , doesn't work:

appium = runtime.getruntime().exec("/usr/local/bin/appium"); 

in order start appium on os x should include 'open' , add '.app' @ end.

for example:

appium = runtime.getruntime().exec("open /applications/appium.app");
