Executing PowerShell Commands in Java Program
No need of reinvent the wheel. Now you can just use jPowerShell
String command = "Get-ItemProperty " +
"HKLM:\\Software\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\* " +
"| Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate " +
"| Format-Table –AutoSize";
System.out.println(PowerShell.executeSingleCommand(command).getCommandOutput());
you can try to calle the powershell.exe with some commands like :
String[] commandList = {"powershell.exe", "-Command", "dir"};
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(commandList);
Process p = pb.start();
You should write a java program like this, here is a sample based on Nirman's Tech Blog, the basic idea is to execute the command calling the PowerShell process like this:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class PowerShellCommand {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//String command = "powershell.exe your command";
//Getting the version
String command = "powershell.exe $PSVersionTable.PSVersion";
// Executing the command
Process powerShellProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
// Getting the results
powerShellProcess.getOutputStream().close();
String line;
System.out.println("Standard Output:");
BufferedReader stdout = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
powerShellProcess.getInputStream()));
while ((line = stdout.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
stdout.close();
System.out.println("Standard Error:");
BufferedReader stderr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
powerShellProcess.getErrorStream()));
while ((line = stderr.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
stderr.close();
System.out.println("Done");
}
}
In order to execute a powershell script
String command = "powershell.exe \"C:\\Pathtofile\\script.ps\" ";
