Java ProcessBuilder Shutdown System Error

 ProcessBuilder pb;
 Process process;
 String command ="shutdown -s";
    try {
        pb = new ProcessBuilder("cmd.exe", "/C", command) 
        process = pb.start();
        process.waitFor();
        if (process.exitValue() == 0) {                  
            //success
        } else {
            //handle error
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        //handle error
    }

When I try to get inputstream and run that block of code system goes into an infinite loop. Then I changed the code as seen above. However when I run it it gets exit value of 1 and can not shutdown system.

Any ideas?

PS: I don't want to use java run time.

Solution

  • command should be:

    String command ="shutdown.exe -s";

    instead of:

    String command ="shutdown -s";
