Close a program and then start it up again - on start up!!!

[brendanmcdonagh]

Hi all

I have a problem with my set up on pc and am thinking java can help me, also thinking using java would help me with my knowledge of java.

The reasons i need this are odd so i want go in to them.

I want a java program to open when windows starts then i want the program to close an exe and then open it again, and being greedy i would then like the java program to close.

I believe this is possible, is it? and any pointers where to start??

Regards

Brendan

Have a look at the Runtime.exec() family of methods; they can solve at least part
of your problem.

kind regards,
