Execute windows command line to a file

Hi,
I would like to run a windows command line from Java and output the result to a file.
eg.
cmd> mycommand hello > output.txt
in windows ">" is to output the result to a file.
I've tried
String command = "mycommand hello > output.txt";
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);But that exec() didn't output to a file.
Can someone give me an example on how to do this?
Thanks

You are falling for one of the traps described here. The redirection operator '>' has to be interpreted by a shell or command processor. On windows this would be
String command = "cmd.exe /C mycommand hello > output.txt";and on Linux this would beString command = "sh -c mycommand hello > output.txt";You should read all 4 sections of the traps article and implement ALL the recommendations or you will be back here again.

Running class files from the windows command line...

Hello Everyone,
My instructor showed us a way to run class files from the windows command line. However every time I try to run the class file from the command line using a command like: java CruiseHelper.class
I get an error that states "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: CruiseHelper/class"

So,
java -classpath . CruiseHelper

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Launched from a windows command line

If my labview app is run remotely from a windows command line, is there any way to tell programmatically from a variable somewhere that it was launched by another app and not by the operator manually launching the app itself ?

Hello id,
If you have control over the application that's invoking your exe through the command line, I'd suggest using a simple custom argument that is passed to the application per this KnowledgeBase:
KnowledgeBase 1CNFGHFI: Passing Command Line Arguments to a LabVIEW Executable
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/17C3AD70493CE0208625666A00763364
You would then use the App.Args property (Application:Command Line Arguments Property) to check for your "this launched from the command line via this other application" argument, whatever it might be. I would suggest that you should only need to check for *any* arguments, if they're present then you know it's been launched via the command line. The argument could just be the name of the calling application. If you're unable to insert arguments via the invoking application, you could also use a one-line batch file that's installed with the target EXE to do the same thing (you'd run the batch file instead of the executable from the invoking application).
Determining where an application was invoked from without sending it that information explicitly is another, trickier problem- there are plenty of discussions on stackexchange and elsewhere detailing possible solutions, but if the invoked application (your EXE) isn't owned by the command prompt process I'm not sure it's possible. There are a few mentions of checking environment variables that the command prompt usually sets to see if they've been configured, but I have no experience with this.
Best Regards,
Tom L.

How to run an executable from command-line

I'm learning how to use the Terminal and I got stuck in a silly thing (I suppose it is). How can I run an executable file from command-line in Terminal?
For example: I have a file named "Hello" in the folder /sample. If I use the ls command (ls sample), I can see the file Hello. Then I move to the directory (cd /sample) and try to run the file Hello (typing "Hello") but I got "command not found" message.
If I drag the Hello file from Finder to Terminal and hit Return, it runs perfectly. And if I type the full path to the file (even if I'm already inside its directory), it also runs.
So, my doubt is if there is any command to run an executable from command-line.
Thanks

I took the trouble of reading *man bash* and it explains the issue. to add the current directory to PATH you need to add an empty path to PATH like this
PATH=$PATH::
you can add it to ~/.bash_profile so that it's executed automatically when you start bash. I suspect the linux system you are talking about had this set up by default or had it added to PATH in /etc/profile which defines PATH globally.

Windows command line

Is thee any way to use java to process Windows command line commands, such as running ftp?

Runtime.exec() is used to run system commands, but it's not a command-line shell. Before you try to use it, you should read the following: Navigate yourself around pitfalls related to the Runtime.exec() method
If you're looking for an FTP API in Java, you should try the Jakarta Commons Net packages...

Can't run java .class programs from Windows command line!

I have tried to get a program that I wrote with the JDK to run from the Windows command line, but it is not working. I typed:
java HelloWorld
Where my .class was HelloWorld.class, a compiled java program. I spelled the name correctly (and I am in the correct directory), yet I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld
I think something is screwy with windows, but that's just me. Any ideas??

Likely a CLASSPATH issue - try
java -classpath . HelloWorldGood Luck

How to check system status from Windows command line?

Does anyone has an idea how to check system status from Windows command line? In UNIX we use startsap check, unfortunately I didn't find an appropriate command provided by SAP.
The only idea we have is to use
tasklist /FI "Username eq SAPService<SID>" | find "disp+work"
which isn't as nice as startsap check.

Hi,
In windows you can use the command
go to profile directory in command prompt and the give the following command to check the status of the instance.
sapstart check pf=START_DVEBMGS<nr>_<hostname>
that means you need to mention start profile or instance profile. So that it will say whether the instance is running or not.
If you want any other information please reply back to me.
Thanks,
Chaitanya.

Under jsdk1.4 and tomcat 4, it is fine for the servlet to execute those command. But uncer jdk1.5 and tomcat 5, it gives the following error:
error to execute a command: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: mkdir c:\m7q28 error=2
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: mkdir c:\m7q28 error=2
Please help me if you have any idea. Thanks.
