Java WMIC command is not recognized in Unix

Question

I'm trying to execute the following command from a Java application using a process:

/bin/wmic -U banshee/allotquery --password=******** //banshee.4g4g.com '--delimiter="|"' 'SELECT eventCode,eventType,timeGenerated,User,InsertionStrings,Message FROM win32_NTLogEvent WHERE Logfile="Security" AND NOT Message LIKE "%$%"'.

(The password is hidden for security reasons).

Then I run the command in CentOS 6 CLI it succeeds and I see results. When I try to run it from my Java application it is not recognized.

Code:

public final void executeCommand(final String command, final String query) throws IOException {
    if (Utils.isNullOrEmpty(query)) {
        LogUtils.error(SSHExecClient.class, "No parameters were supplied to the command.");
        throw new IOException("No parameters were supplied to the command.");
    }

    final List<String> cmdTest = new ArrayList<String>();
    cmdTest.add(0, "/bin/wmic");
    cmdTest.add("-U");
    cmdTest.add("banshee/allotquery");
    cmdTest.add("--password=******");
    cmdTest.add("//banshee.4g4g.com");
    cmdTest.add("'--delimiter=\"|\"'");
    cmdTest.add("'SELECT eventCode,eventType,timeGenerated,User,InsertionStrings,Message FROM win32_NTLogEvent WHERE Logfile=\"Security\" AND NOT Message LIKE \"%$%\"'");
    LogUtils.error(LocalExecClient.class, "Executing command: " + Utils.getAsString(cmdTest, " "));
    final ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(cmdTest);
    pb.inheritIO();
    try {
        process = pb.start();
        processReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
        errReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
        process.waitFor();
    } catch(final java.io.IOException | InterruptedException e) {
        LogUtils.error(LocalExecClient.class, "Unable to execute command.");
        LogUtils.error(LocalExecClient.class, e.getMessage());
        throw new IOException("Unable to execute command.");
    }
}

The result I get is (which means the command is not recognized): Usage:

[-?|--help] [--usage] [-d|--debuglevel DEBUGLEVEL] [--debug-stderr]
        [-s|--configfile CONFIGFILE] [--option=name=value]
        [-l|--log-basename LOGFILEBASE] [--leak-report] [--leak-report-full]
        [-R|--name-resolve NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER]
        [-O|--socket-options SOCKETOPTIONS] [-n|--netbiosname NETBIOSNAME]
        [-W|--workgroup WORKGROUP] [--realm=REALM] [-i|--scope SCOPE]
        [-m|--maxprotocol MAXPROTOCOL] [-U|--user [DOMAIN\]USERNAME[%PASSWORD]]
        [-N|--no-pass] [--password=STRING] [-A|--authentication-file FILE]
        [-S|--signing on|off|required] [-P|--machine-pass]
        [--simple-bind-dn=STRING] [-k|--kerberos STRING]
        [--use-security-mechanisms=STRING] [-V|--version] [--namespace=STRING]
        [--delimiter=STRING]
        //host query

UPDATE: I finally resolved the issue by removing all single and double quotes from the query parameters. The reason for that is the fact that they are added automatically by the compiler.
