Passing args with Runtime.exec()

[Spiros]

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:

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();
	        };
     
  }

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