Run OS Command in Windows

[ehsun7b]

Hi
I'm using NetBeans + GCC in Linux and also NetBeans + MinGW in Windows.

I need to run an OS Command e.g.: java -jar myjar.jar I prefer not to have the terminal/cmd window. It works fine in Linux, but in windows, it ends up in opening a cmd window anyway.

I tried javaw too.

Any help would be appreciated.

system("java -jar myjar.jar");

[ehsun7b]

system("java -jar myjar.jar");

I have used this command, as I mentioned it works fine in Linux, but in Windows it appears an annoying command window. (Terminal window)

why not append system exit after that

system("java -jar myjar.jar");
exit(0);

In Linux, you should be using fork() and exec(), rather than relying on system() to do the right thing for you.

For windows, use
