I`m trying to execute a shell command with arguments in C# , and "The system cannot find the file specified" is thrown.
I`ve tried:
p.StartInfo.FileName = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\timesync\\NistClock.exe sync";
the path is correct 100% NistClock.exe gets executed when is run without the parameter "sync"
You should change a little bit your code:
p.StartupInfo.FileName = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "timesync\\NistClock.exe");
p.StartupInfo.Arguments = "sync";
string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\timesync\\NistClock.exe";
string args = "sync";
ProcessStartInfo p = new ProcessStartInfo(path, args);
Process process = Process.Start(p);
Use the Arguments property.
p.StartInfo.FileName = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\timesync\\NistClock.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "sync";
By the way, be careful about using Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(). Note that this method can return something different if you're using any file dialogs throughout your application. It might be a better option to use something like Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location instead, and parse the directory from there.
