running PSExec from java does not work

I want to run a CSharp process from my java server under a different user. I use PSExec to do this - it works fine on my PC, but when doing it on a "real" server, the process immediately crashes. (It seems that the CSharp app does not even start - i tried to print something to a file as the first command, but nothing was written).

Both the user that run the java process and the other user are in the Administrator group.

I have no idea why the application crashes.

This is my code:

ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(
 "c:\\pstools\\PsExec.exe",
 "-u",
 "username",
 "-p",
 "password",
 appPath,
 arg1,
 arg2);

processBuilder.start();

It works just fine. Remember that you need to have double \\ in your ShellCommandString. My coworker just came to me with this question, i googoled it and got to this page.. processBuilder will work just fine, make sure the stirng you have is = the stirng you wish to have in cmd

ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(
    "Psexec \\\\\\\\10.192.246.76 -i -u Administrator -p admin2193 cmd /c C:\\\\CI\\\\AutoTest\\\\agent_test1.bat");

processBuilder.start();

My virus scanner doesn't allow xcmd.

However paexec is a drop-in replacement for psexec that also works perfectly.

try with XCmd by Zoltan Csizmadia : http://feldkir.ch/xcmd.htm

This problem has been discussed on sysinternals forum and as I remeber there was a problem with EOL symbol that psexec uses.

You'll have no problems with xcmd
