Question

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();

try with XCmd by Zoltan Csizmadia :

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
