You need use the runas command. Something like the following:

Runtime.exec("runas /user:ROOTUSERNAME c:\yourdir\yourbat.bat");

Of course, the windows ROOTUSERNAME user must have admin priviledge.

P.S.: I don't know why people voted this question down, it is a valid one...

  • i want to run some command like "peach.bat peachpit.xml" how to pass arguments like option filename ? – Tukesh Apr 19 '11 at 07:07
  • You can add them to the string when calling Runtime.exec. If it is data, you first need to save it on file, then pass the location to your bat in the command line. – Jérôme Verstrynge Apr 19 '11 at 09:32
