However, if I replace pmrun in the .exec with ssh, it will exec the ssh.  Any idea why it won't run?

I used this:

import java.io.
system = String 'hostA'
r = Runtime.getRuntime()
p = r.exec("pmrun -h "system" root ls /tmp")
p.waitFor()
b = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()))
line = String "";
loop forever
  line = b.readLine()
  if line = null then leave
  say line
end
b.close()
