Run windows services from java application

can java application run a windows server
i have a web server that runing using tomcat and mysql
can i make a icon in the systray
that give me the option to (using a menu)
run the server ,wicth means : tomcat and mysql are runing
stop the server
get tomcat stacktrace in a window
i was thinking about runing tomcat and mysql as services
and write the systray application using java,
the systray application should acces window services ,
and run/stop requierd services.
what happend on a machine thar runs linux?
thanks
shay

Ok .so it's will be a diffrent way under linux..
for systray i will use http://systray.sourceforge.net/
and for services i'll use the
"net start <Service>" and "net stop service"
i need to keep track on the service status
so my Systray status will be updated
what is the command for getting the status of the proccess
thanks shay

Start and Stop a Windows Service From Java

Is there any way to start and stop a Windows service from Java? The only post I found on it (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=647509) had a link to one of the many aps that allow Java programs to be services, which is not what I am interested in doing.
I am attempting to get data from performance counters from the Windows Performance Monitor into a Java ap without using JNI. I can get the data from C++ or a .net language pretty easily and was going to create a service that would listen for socket requests and feed back the data. However, I'd like to start and stop that service when my java code starts and stops. Is this possible? Would it make more sense to just use a .exe and Runtime.exec()?

If it's only to start or stop a service then you could use the net command without any need for JNI.import java.io.*;
public class MsWinSvc {
    static final String CMD_START = "cmd /c net start \"";
    static final String CMD_STOP = "cmd /c net stop \"";
    public static int startService(String serviceName) throws Exception {
        return execCmd(CMD_START + serviceName + "\"");
    public static int stopService(String serviceName) throws Exception {
        return execCmd(CMD_STOP + serviceName + "\"");
    static int execCmd(String cmdLine) throws Exception {
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdLine);
        StreamPumper outPumper = new StreamPumper(process.getInputStream(), System.out);
        StreamPumper errPumper = new StreamPumper(process.getErrorStream(), System.err);
        outPumper.start();
        errPumper.start();
        process.waitFor();
        outPumper.join();
        errPumper.join();
        return process.exitValue();
    static class StreamPumper extends Thread {
        private InputStream is;
        private PrintStream os;
        public StreamPumper(InputStream is, PrintStream os) {
            this.is = is;
            this.os = os;
        public void run() {
            try {
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
                String line;
                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
                    os.println(line);
            catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();

Running exe files from java applications

Hello All,
Is it possible to run executable files from java applications?
I need to run an exe file on the client from the server machine, the exe could reside on either the server or any other machine on the LAN. Is it possible to specify the path of where the exe resides, and run it on a client machine?

HI,
I tried to launch a MS Word application using runtime.exec but it gives me some problem
The foll. code to launch a txt file using notepad works.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = {"notepad.exe","C:\\coo7\\wizard.txt"};
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
However, oif I try to launch a MS Word application, it asks for the entire path of WINWORD.exe, (unlike just specifying notepad.exe as the first argument in String[] callAndArgs) and this can vary from one machine to another.. how do I get around this?
The foll. code snippet works but the complete path of where WINWORD.exe might be installed on any machine, is not fixed:-(
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = {"C:\\Program Files\\Office\\Office10\\WINWORD.exe","C:\\coo7\\wizard.doc"};
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
Any idea/suggestions pls..

Running a script from java application

How do I execute a script (sms_setver which requires parameters such ms9qa) from java application using Runtime.exec(). I tried Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sms_setver ms9qa"). But, I get this error:
Caught: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: sms_setver ms9qa error=2

Same way it is actually run from a console command line.
If you are doing this in windows then it might be using the extension to determine how to run it. If from unix then it might be using the shebang line.
At any rate figure it out and use that instead. Usually it involves either explicitly using the shell or some other executable and the script is a parameter to that process.

Monitoring windows services from JavaI Know how to

I know how to start and stop services in java, but how can I see if a process is already stared or is starting?
Thx

You'll need to make a call to a suitable Windows program using Runtime or ProcessBuilder methods, or use JNI (Java Native Interface.) From Wikipedia:
(JNI) is a programming framework that allows Java code running in the Java virtual machine (JVM)
to call and be called[1] by native applications (programs specific to a hardware and operating system
platform) and libraries written in other languages, such as C, C++ and assembly.

Querying windows service from Java

Hi All,
i have a java web application running on jboss that does data collection by querying different windows processes like MSSQLSERVER, IIS availability etc.
The problem i am facing is that my application is returning a negative result for the above services but when i run the query from command prompt i get a positive result. I dont understand why this happens.
would really appreciate a response.

Is query this from java Runtime.exec and from command prompt different? My code creates a string of sc \\<server> query W3SVC and calls this like:               String cmd = "sc "+ " \\\\ " + serverIPOrHostName + "query"+ service;
               p = r.exec(cmd);
               inp = p.getInputStream();
            byte[] dataInput = new byte[320];
            inp.read(dataInput);
            String inputData = new String(dataInput);
            //Logger added to read the service response.
            logger.info(inputData);
            //Checks for specified sequence of characters in the string and
            //returns boolean.
            if (inputData.contains(SERVICE_RUNNING)) {
                 result = 1;
            } else {
                 result = 0;
            }My reasoning is that if i cant do it in java because of some security policy then i should not be able to do it in command prompt too? But that is not the case. I can do it over command prompt but not from java code!
If this is a windows related issue, how should i proceed to debug it? how can i provide access to my java code to do this?
I happened to check out one site http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_Q323790.aspx where it says that "The File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks component must be turned on for many remote-management functions to work. "
But this looks like a very trivial (although i dont know much about windows security policies).
thanks,
Dilip
PS: Thanks for looking into the mail and responding.

How to run a vi from Java application?

I am passing data to a vi from my java swing application using data socket bean but I have to manually open and run the vi. How can I programatically open and run the vi from my java application without using ActiveX automation server?

I don't know Java but if you can issue a shell command then you can run the VI with the command line:
"\labview.exe" ""
You have to set the VI to "Run when opened". The VI will run each time the command is issued, even if the VI is already opened.

Best way to create a Windows service from a LabVIEW executable?

What would be the best way to run a LabVIEW executable as a service? I needed this recently and I think I have set up such a service using srvany.exe from the Windows 2003 Resource Kit, but that seems like a bit of a hack. The Kit is not offically supported in Server 2008, but seems to work. I don't know about Server 2012 or beyond.
So what would be the "proper" way of going about creating a Windows service from a headless LabVIEW application?

The proper way is to interface to the according Windows service control API. That is however not a trivial task to do. We used to sell a LabVIEW toolkit which supported a full interface to this, but it's not currently actively marketed.
srvany.exe is sort of a hack but works reasonably well for most use cases, as long as you do not need any further interaction with the service manager interface in Windows than to start and stop your service.

Calling a Web Service from Java

Our java guru (who is out sick....AHHHH) created all the calls that are needed to access the web service that he has running. For example the call getLongList(String user, String password) will return a list of all outstanding transactions. He made a jar file that has service has class files for PortType, Service, Service Locator and Soap Binding stub.
How do I call this web service from java? Do I have to import it into my classpath? or just call these parameters from within my java code?

never mind...i got it

You should try to post it there:
