error while running sc create command through java

Question

I want to register the service in windows and after register wants to start also.

using following command in the code::

cmd.exe /C sc create "<service name>" binpath="D:\\abc\\xyz.exe -zglaxservice xyz"

I execute above command through runtime.exec().

upon running the code it gives the help of sc command.

Code ::

Process proc = null;
String[] cmdStr = new String[] { "cmd.exe","/C","sc", "create", "\""+servicename+"\"", "binpath= \"D:\\SCCode\\"+exeName+".exe -zglaxservice "+laxName+"\"" };
proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdArr);

Please help...

Please add your Java code - especially are you using the array or single-string command variant? Is your Java process running with elevated permission? — eckes, Oct 13 '14 at 06:57

Two issues with the command

cmd.exe /C sc create "" binpath="D:\abc\xyz.exe -zglaxservice xyz"

Service name is missing
After = (equals symbol) you need to put a space.

So the correct command would be as follows:

cmd.exe /C sc create "ServiceName" binpath= "D:\abc\xyz.exe -zglaxservice xyz"

I observed you did some modification, although still you command line string is not correct (couple of space is missing). The correct one would be as follows:

String[] cmdStr = new String[] { "cmd.exe ","/C ","sc ", "create ", "\""+servicename+"\"", " binpath= \"D:\\SCCode\\"+exeName+".exe -zglaxservice "+laxName+"\"" };

I tried above and I was getting issue as

'"sc "' is not recognized as an internal or external command

which comes if your java is not running in admin mode, since sc command requires your cmd command to run in admin mode.

If you are facing the same issue, please check below link:

Run command prompt as Administrator

This solution works for me:

cmd.exe /C sc create "cdfa$" binpath= "F:\Connect_Direct\Sterling Commerce\FileAgent\cdfa$.exe -zglaxservice cdfa$"
