Java ReStart application command in programmatically

Is there in Java any command or proccedure that I can restart my appliation itself?

I developed a Java desktop application, but after some time it's going hang. I don't know why, so I want to restart my application itself. Is it possible?

You're doing it wrong. Find out why your application hangs by debugging it or adding some logging code, and after further examination fix the problem.

My answer is a bit general, but to make an analogy; you're trying to open the front door of your house using a sledgehammer without checking your pockets first.

I would recommend to try hard and fix the problem that causes your app hang. But if you still want to restart it I think the only way is running a new instance and killing the old one:

RunTime.getRuntime().exec("java My_Program");
System.exit(0);

It should be possible by using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);, but I think the better solution here would be to find the reason why your application hangs after a while. Just because your application starts to hang after, for example, two hours doesn't mean that it didn't already ill behave a long time before.
