hey
Try the Runtime Class.

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdline);

If I understand you correctly. you want to execute the java program from the command prompt.

Just use java <fullyQualifiedClassName>

I dont know your exact aim so i wanted to show one more approach if your problem does not require a shell script strictly.

You can invoke Java programs from C programs using JNI as described below:
