Scenario was i created a BAT file and stored in C drive. I need to write a code for double click or single click using Java.

This is what I tried in Java but it did not work:

try {
    String path = "cmd /c start C:\\KeyManager_Stop.bat";
    Runtime rn = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process pr = rn.exec(path);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

The batch file contains:

cd c:\test\test.cmd stop

Why not simply execute it? – assylias Jul 17 '13 at 12:09
Use Runtime.exec( – Sandiip Patil Jul 17 '13 at 12:11
Inside that Bat files i given some internal command to start the Process. If we double clicked that it automatically start the process – Saravanakumar Marudhachalam Jul 17 '13 at 12:11
Hi Sandiip, I have used the Runtime.exec also is not working. – Saravanakumar Marudhachalam Jul 17 '13 at 12:12
First, Java and JavaScript are NOT the same thing. They are not even close. The only real relation is the name. Second, can you post your script so we can see what is going wrong with Runtime.exec? – Dan Grahn Jul 17 '13 at 12:14
if you need just execute the bat file then your question is similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/615948/how-do-i-run-a-batch-file-from-my-java-application – LLAlive Jul 17 '13 at 12:23
This script written for java try { String path="cmd /c start C:\\KeyManager_Stop.bat"; Runtime rn=Runtime.getRuntime(); Process pr=rn.exec(path); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } – Saravanakumar Marudhachalam Jul 17 '13 at 12:23
In batch File I written the code "cd c:\test\test.cmd stop". – Saravanakumar Marudhachalam Jul 17 '13 at 12:25
@SaravanakumarMarudhachalam Did you get an error message? Did you try to consume the process output stream? etc. – assylias Jul 17 '13 at 12:29
So basically you are trying to run one batch file which in turn will close another batch. What is test.cmd? – Sandiip Patil Jul 17 '13 at 12:36
Hi Assylias,No error Message – Saravanakumar Marudhachalam Jul 17 '13 at 12:36
Hi sandiip, Test.cmd is project file if we given "test.cmd start" it will start the application or "test.cmd stop" it will stop the application – Saravanakumar Marudhachalam Jul 17 '13 at 12:37
So you want a batch file to stop your application? – Sandiip Patil Jul 17 '13 at 12:39
Yes Sandiip So any Possible code? – Saravanakumar Marudhachalam Jul 17 '13 at 12:41
Your path looks fine but not sure if \\ has to do something with it. Try like below: Process p= Runtime.getRuntime().exec( new String[]{"cmd", "/C", "KeyManager_Stop.bat"}, null, new File("D://")); – Sandiip Patil Jul 17 '13 at 12:42
