ARGS are a list of strings to be passed to the program as arguments. 

For no arguments, use nil which means that just the name of the
program is passed as arg 0.

Returns a process structure containing the JAVA-OBJECT wrapped Process
object, and the PROCESS-INPUT, PROCESS-OUTPUT, and PROCESS-ERROR streams.

Notes about Unix environments (as in the :environment):

    * The ABCL implementation of run-program, like SBCL, Perl and many
      other programs, copies the Unix environment by default.

    * Running Unix programs from a setuid process, or in any other
      situation where the Unix environment is under the control of
      someone else, is a mother lode of security problems. If you are
      contemplating doing this, read about it first. (The Perl
      community has a lot of good documentation about this and other
      security issues in script-like programs.)

The &key arguments have the following meanings:

:environment 
    An alist of STRINGs (name . value) describing the new
    environment. The default is to copy the environment of the current
    process.

:wait 
    If non-NIL, which is the default, wait until the created process
    finishes. If NIL, continue running Lisp until the program
    finishes.")
