Trouble with Runtime exec() function

Question

Howdy-dodee peeps,
I'm having trouble with executing external command. The command exits with value greater than 0 however if I execute the command line on "command prompt" it works fine.
Can someone tell me, what I'm doing wrong?
Thanx.
PS: using imagemagick to rescale image and windows XP.
public class Test {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               String commandLine = "convert -resize 176x208! 9781416506614.jpg test.jpg";
               Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandLine);
               p.waitFor();
               System.out.println("INFO: " + p.exitValue());
          }catch (Exception err) {
               err.printStackTrace();

Howdy-dodee peepsHowdy-dodee peep! /* whatever that might mean */ A side note: Image Magick's well-known and not without reason so popular convert program's name clashes on Windows with the built-in command letting convert say a FAT file system into an NTFS one.
