I nead to run some .exe file minimized with arguments. Right now with my code i can run it in normal window. Here is my code:
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(directoryString, myArg1, myArg2);
Process pr = pb.start();
I found this solution:
start /min "" directoryString
But i don't know how to use it on ProcessBuilder with process with arguments.
start is actually a Windows cmd command.
Thus: make that implicit by calling
cmd.exe /start....
via the Java process builder; as outlined here.
What I mean is: first open a windows console/terminal; and built a command like
cmd.exe /c start /min ....
and when that works to run your program; then use that string as input for the Java ProcessBuilder. You might also find some more helpful examples here.
start /min before the directory, i'm getting exception The system cannot find the file specified
start /min directoryString myArg1 but in Process Builder i can't just write this string. Process Builder is reading first string as directoryString, second as myArg1. When i'm putting directoryString and myArg1 together, in one string, ProcessBuilder is reading it as only directoryString and can't run .exe.I did it so:
String args = "myArg1";
String cmd = "cmd.exe /C START /MIN directoryString ";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd + args);
After directoryString it need to be a one space, otherwise cmd will read it as only one string without spaces and try to open not existing file.
