When I start a process without a GUI in Java, no console (cmd.exe) window is opened.

Example:

ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("process", nogui);
Process process = builder.start();

How can I see the console window?

For Windows

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c process nogui");

For Other OS; Similar 🙂
