How to create bash script from Java on Windows?

Question

Is there a way to make Java spawn a bash script on Windows? I have cygwin installed and I linked the .sh extension to cygwin bash. The following code that works on Linux does not work:

String[] cmdArray = { "scriptName.sh", "-force", categoryName}; Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdArray, null, directory); 

Answer 1

Try adding either bash or starting as the first parameter.

Answer 2

I think you will need to provide an executable to do this. The Process.exec method seems to execute exe files.
