This behaviour makes sense to me as you are trying to display an application but there is not necessarily a windows display associated with Tomcat so it doesnt know where to launch the app to.
And by the lack of error message i'd guess that the application is actually getting launched but not displayed on the console. -----Original Message----- From: andy wix [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 November 2004 09:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Runtime.exec security issue? Hi, I am trying to run a simple exec command to open notepad with code as follows: Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process proc = runtime.exec("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\notepad.exe"); This code works fine from a stand-alone program but not run under Tomcat. I CAN successfully set the the system time and date using the same approach though. I get the same results when Tomcat is not run as a service. I am running Xp with Tomcat 5.0.27. I thought this might be a java permissions issue, but I don't get any exceptions thrown - just nothing happens.
