Hello,

I can't seem to execute a batch file from Java.

Runttime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c c:\\junk.cmd");

"cmd/c junk.cmd" works from the command line, but the above doesn't work
from java. I've even placed quotes around "c:\\junk.cmd" and used the full
path name to cmd.exe. Nothing seems to work.

NOTE: The junk.cmd file is a test batch file that deletes a file to detect
if the file has been executed and can execute binaries like notepad.

Any help appreciated
