When you pass arguments to a java application, they are accessible through the args[] array in main.

See: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/cmdLineArgs.html which I am quoting:

Echoing Command-Line Arguments

The Echo example displays each of its command-line arguments on a line by itself:

public class Echo {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        for (String s: args) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }
    }
}

The following example shows how a user might run Echo. User input is in italics.

Parsing Numeric Command-Line Arguments

If an application needs to support a numeric command-line argument, it must convert a String argument that represents a number, such as "34", to a numeric value. Here is a code snippet that converts a command-line argument to an int:

int firstArg;
if (args.length > 0) {
    try {
        firstArg = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
        System.err.println("Argument" + " must be an integer");
        System.exit(1);
    }
}

Process pr = rt.exec(new String[]{"/bin/sh", "/tmp/test.sh", args[0]});

Of course, you will also need to check that args contains at least one argument

in public static void main(String[] args) the args parameter is the arguement. If you use multiple arguement like 

java Classname a b c

Then in your main method args will be an array containing a,b,c

if this is what you want then args[0] is the preferred arguement.

Command line arguments are passed to your application in the String[] parameter args, so you should be able to access the value using args[0].

Process pr = rt.exec(new String[]{"/bin/sh", "/tmp/test.sh", args[0] });

Just add the argument(s) to your command, like this:

rt.exec("/bin/sh /tmp/test.sh trng-java");

The argument you pass in will be found in the args parameters as String yourParam = args[0]
