Passing args with Runtime.exec()

Hello,

I am having a problem passing arguments to a Java application. If I run it from command prompt, I can just input the following:

Java IRC -NICK GV_CONTROLLER82 -INSTRUCTOR Spiro -SESSIONID 82

And it works perfectly.

However I need to execute the java IRC application from another java app. I do this by using Runtime.exec(). It works if I don’t send the arguments.

I need to know how to send the above arguments to using runtime.exec()

Please Help!

This is the code segment below:

Code:

---

private void SessionStart() {
        String[] cmd = {"java","IRC -NICK GV_CONTROLLER82 -INSTRUCTOR Spiro -SESSIONID 82"};
                   
                    try
                {           
                    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                    Process proc = rt.exec(cmd);
                    int exitVal = proc.waitFor();

                    System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
                } catch (Throwable t)
                {
                    t.printStackTrace();
                };
   
  }

Have a look at the following:

Navigate yourself around pitfalls related to the Runtime.exec() method

try breaking the second string up into strings of a single word each vs putting them all in one string.
