Hi,
The shutdown command now works OK.
There have been a few issues with this that I didn't have in the right combination.
The Tomcat service must have suitable permissions. To do this: - Under control panel select Admin tools -> Services - Right click Apache Tomcat service and select properties - Select the logon tab - Under 'This account' select a user account with administrator role.
Not that Windows 2K doesn't come with a shutdown command. There is one supplied with the Win2K resource kit.
- The command must be run from the overloaded exec method that takes a String array as it will not work declared as a string.
- Both output and error streams must be read otherwise the process will hang.
(see http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html)
- The code will not run from a batch file.
Thanks for your help.
Andy
