cmd error=2

[hsn]

hello everyone.
i am using the process class with the runtime for sure. as you know i use it for running commands on my windows cmd.
the usual commands work just fine such as, ping yahoo.com, ipconfig, and so much more.
with my windows vista the stupid and annoying UAC (user access control is not letting my program to use the cmd as admin. so i have downloaded a program called start ++, this program is very useful, by using this command i can run the cmd normally, type in "sudo cmd.exe", and then an admin cmd pops up and i can run all my lovely commands.

NOW IS THE PROBLEM and the reason for reading this post:

when i use the process clas and enter the command "sudo cmd.exe /k ipconfig /flushdns" java says:

Cannot run program "sudo": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

can someone help me to be able to make java run my command

thanks for reading and see you at other posts

regards
hsn

sorry i forgot to say something

i have windows VISTA when i use the start button i write in the search text field
sudo cmd .exe
and then the admin cmd runs

Wow, interesting tool, that Start++. I assume, that the problem is the following:
Java tries to execute the sudo command with cmd, however it is only known to the Start++ version of cmd. So, it should work with something like

C:\path\to\star t++ sudo admin ...

So, you'll have to find out, where Start++ has it's version of cmd.

The best place to find this out is probably the Start++ Forum on brandontools.co m (where the Tool originates from).

thanks for your reply
when i run cmd normally i enter "sudo cmd.exe" i understand your reply 100%, and i am looking through what you have told me. but isn't the process class with runtime runs a cmd process? and if so shouldn't it accept the command "sudo cmd.exe" just like the cmd which is being run by double clicking on its icon???

also, sudo is a command in linux. what the creator of start++ did, is adding a service to windows. sudo is a super user command used in linux.
i went to the path of start++ there is no sudo command or program over there.

Well, I don't know how exactly Start++ works, but I'm guessing, it either provides an own version of cmd (which wouldn't necessarily be called by Java) or it adds tools, which the normal cmd can use (in which case, the command "sudo cmd.exe" should work from Java, I think). As I said, the Start++ Forum is probably the best place to find that out.

Indeed, it is. Knowing that, you can understand this comic: :-D

Hm, have you searched your computer with the Windows search function? There may not be such a program, but you never know.

well i searched in the prgram files.
when i write in the start search the "sudo" command this comes up

it is strange how that icon comes up. when ever i put any search key in the start search a small icon come up, but with this it is a huge icon
strange
