Running specific commands in cmd with java

[KingCobra220]

I figured out how to run command prompt from java. Now, is there a way to run a specific command prompt command from java?
Here's what I used to run cmd:

try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start");
}
catch(IOException e)
{
System.out.println("Failure to Launch cmd.exe");
System.exit(0);
}


I was thinking something like the following would work to run a specific command:

try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start ipconfig");
}
catch(IOException e)
{
System.out.println("Failure to Launch ipconfig");
System.exit(0);
}


When running that last bit of code, a DOS window pops up and instantly disappears...any ideas? It worked fine when the command was 'time'.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Maybe it ran ipconfig but was too fast for you to see? Try running a pause command after ipconfig.
