Message:

spawining an executable hangs

Posted by Srini on July 13, 2000 at 3:17 PM

Hi,

I tried to spawn an executable (e.g. sqlplus.exe) from
java and the program hangs in DOS prompt. I could see
"sqlplus.exe" in the windows task manager, but I dont know why
it doesnt "exit" after completing the task (sqlplus).

I tried

process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c cmd.exe /c "
+ "sqlplus acta4x/acta4x@dendrobium @create_ora.sql);

the create_ora.sql has the following cmd
-------------
Create table VBUK (
SUPKZ Varchar2(1),
VBELN Varchar2(10));
exit;
------------------

Note: If I run the same program from the "visual cafe", it works

Can any one help me?

Thanks in advance
Srini
