Can't run the native process.

[dmjpro]

I am running a command using Runtime.getRunt ime() on Windows.
If i run 'ipconfig' it's running successfully but if i try to run 'ipconfig' with any arguments then it flashes an error ....
CreateProcess error=2
Why does this happen ..and how can i get rid out of it.

Is an IOException thrown by the ProcessBuilder (Runtime.exec)?

Yeah ...You are absolutely correct.
But what i am doing ....
[code=java]
String command[] = {"ipconfig","al l"};
Process p = Runtime.getRunt ime().exec(comm and);
[/code]

You should read 'consume' the output produced by the "ipconfig all" process.
Remember: first read those fine API docs and only then start banging your
keyboard.
