Hi,
Still can't get this to work.
There must be some reason why this won't run under Tomcat but does work stand-alone.
To recap, I am trying to execute the following code on an Xp box with Tomcat 5.0.27:
Process proc = runtime.exec("cmd.exe /C shutdown -r -f -m \\myPC -t 50"); int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
When this runs the proc exits with a value of 0 but nothing happens (no re-boot) and no exceptions are thrown.
I have tried running the code from a batch file and without the cmd.exe /C bit.
I have tried running Tomcat from the command line (not as service).
I have tried allowing all permissions in the catalina.policy file: grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/-" { permission java.security.AllPermission "*"; };
I CAN successfully set the the system time and date using the same approach though.
I have absolutely no idea on this now.
Thanks, Andy
