java.lang.InterruptedException while running a batch file

I am trying to run a batch file which has set of services I want to restart. When I call this batch file from my Java application I get Interrupted Exception.
My batch file
call net stop app-service
call net start app-service
call net stop ui-service
call net start ui-service
call net stop custom-app
call net start custom-app
call net stop MSSQLSERVER /Y
call net start MSSQLSERVER
My java code to run the batch file
File file = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "restart.bat");
String time="cmd /c "+file.getAbsolutePath();
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
int exitvalue = p.waitFor();
I'm getting the following error
java.lang.InterruptedException
at java.lang.ProcessImpl.waitFor(ProcessImpl.java:451)
What am I doing wrong?

Looks like the problem is with the batch file. Calling stop and start immediately is what's causing the issue. Make sure the SQL server and services are stopped, then start the server and those services.
Please check this answer:
Stop and Start a service via batch or cmd file
Use the SC (service control) command, it gives you a lot more options
than just start & stop.
DESCRIPTION:
SC is a command line program used for communicating with the
NT Service Controller and services. USAGE:
sc [command] [service name] ...
The option <server> has the form "\\ServerName"
Further help on commands can be obtained by typing: "sc [command]"

Restart Tomcat with Java

I need to restart the tomcat from Java code.
For eg, if a query is not executed for a certain time Period then it will restart the tomcat automatically.
I have tried the following shutdown and startup code, but when we shutdown the tomcat then the java code will not run and tomcat not started.
Note :- I am running this code from a application and restarting the same tomact which the same application is using.
Following the code
try {
PreparedStatement.setQueryTimeout(10);
rs = PreparedStatement.executeQuery();
} catch (SQLException ex) {
System.out.println("IN CATCH BLOCK FOR THE REFRESH INVOICE");
String shutcommand = "killall java";
Process shutchild = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(shutcommand);
System.out.println("JAVA PROCESS KILLED");
String locationCommand = "cd /root/cluster/tomcat6/bin";
Process locationChild = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(locationCommand);
String strtcommand = "./startup.sh";
Process strtchild = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(strtcommand);
}

Killing tomcat after SQLException this is not good idea to handle this exception. Probably the problem is on database site.
But if you are sure, that it is what you need you can kill this java proces in this section, but to run tomcat you should use for example bash and cron. Why? Beacues after killing your executing code will stop, so you don't achieve the line to start tomcat.
How to check tomcat: Is Tomcat running?

TL;DR
File binaryDir = new File(System.getProperty("catalina.home") + File.separator + "bin");
String restartCommand = "\"shutdown.bat & ping 0.0.0.0 -n 4 & C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\net start Tomcat8\"";
new ProcessBuilder("cmd", "/c", restartCommand).directory(binaryDir).start();
Survive
Creating new process will survive JVM shutdown. If you combine commands in one line
it should work fine according to my tests and this.
shutdown.bat
You need to use shutdown.bat instead stopping windows service because it often fails on Windows with message Cannot stop service Apache Tomcat...
ping 0.0.0.0 -n 4
You need to wait some time after shutdown otherwise you will get Service is already starting. Try again later error message. Also note I use ping instead timeout because it causes problems on some systems.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\net start Tomcat8
I'm starting windows service because invoking startup.bat won't work for me. Also remember to replace Tomcat8 if you using different tomcat or custom service name for example Tomcat7
Redirect I/O
Don't redirect input or output of process instance or command will shutdown with JVM, and Tomcat won't start.

You can execute this native command using java
String command = "c:\program files\tomcat\bin\startup.bat";//for linux use .sh
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

You should consider using ProcessBuilder instead of Runtime exec. Also, you should split all the arguments when you want to execute a command.
I suggest this :
ProcessBuilder shutcommand = new ProcessBuilder("killall", "java");
Process shutchild = shutcommand.start();
System.out.println("JAVA PROCESS KILLED");
ProcessBuilder strtcommand = new ProcessBuilder("/root/cluster/tomcat6/bin/startup.sh", "java");
Process strtchild = strtcommand.start();

Could some one detail the Flume Command?

Could someone tell me the detailed description of below flume command to execute conf file.
bin/flume-ng agent --conf-file netcat_flume.conf --name a1
-Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console
As of my knowledge,
--conf-file -> To specify Configuration File name or to mention to FLUME that we need to run this file.
--name -> Agent
But what below command does.?
-Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console
Thanks in advance for your help.

Its the Log4j Property which is explained in detail below
INFO which means output only informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level. For more details check
console means output the log4j logs onto the console. Other options available are write to database and write to file.
-Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console
The above statement write coarse grained level logs of flume execution to console

The shell script flume-ng,accept args,finally run command like:
java -Xmx20m -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console -cp '=:/home/scy/apache-flume-1.4.0-bin/lib/*:/home/scy/apache-flume-1.4.0-bin/conf:/home/scy/jdk1.6.0_45/lib/tools.jar' -Djava.library.path= org.apache.flume.node.Application --conf-file conf/example.conf --name agent1 conf org.apache.flume.node
Let's look at sourcecode org.apache.flume.node.Application.main(String[] args):
PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider configurationProvider =
new PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider(agentName,
configurationFile);
Here class PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider accept agentName and configurationFile which specific by "--conf-file" and "--name"
Then application.start() run all source,channel and sink
As about -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console,Let's look at flume/log4j.properties:
flume.root.logger=INFO,LOGFILE
flume.root.logger will changed by -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console,it means put all info level logs to console

how to restart tomcat from a running webapp?

I need to restart tomcat service from a webapp running on this tomcat. So I'm trying to execute script that stops tomcat service, and then starts it:
echo "before stop" >> textfile.txt
NET STOP "Tomcat7"
:loop
timeout 3
SC query Tomcat7 | FIND "STATE" | FIND "RUNNING" > NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (
goto start
) ELSE (
goto loop
)
:start
NET START "Tomcat7"
Java code:
String command = "C:\\Tomcat 7.0\\bin\\restart.bat";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
Tomcat is stopped, but not started.
If I run this batch from command line, it works properly.
thank you for your time

This worked:
String fileName = "C:\\Tomcat 7.0\\bin\\restart.bat";
String[] commands = {"cmd", "/c", "start", "\"DummyTitle\"",fileName};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
taken from http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0014.html

What you are asking is not exactly safe and possible but do take a look at Tomcat manager API that allows you to programmatically manipulate Tomcat deployment and instance:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/api/index.html
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/manager/host/HostManagerServlet.html

Agree with Edmon.
Tomcat is a provider of containers. Each container should act independently of each other, even if they call the services another provides. This should all be done via RMI or alike.
Like Edmon also suggests, you could call using the API, but again... sounds bad. Instead, question why it needs to restart. Then, if there's no work around, use the Tomcat Manager.

Monitoring a batch file with java

I'm calling a batch that calls another "jar" that send messages to a server and write a report in the end, the time of execution varies from day to day, and the size of the input used in the batch influences to.
I would like to monitor when the batch auto-closes so I can make my original jar to read the log...
I'm calling it like this
Process prog = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:\\chamados\\corretorRota\\VerificarNumero.bat");
and the batch:
cd C:\chamados\corretorRota
java -jar BatchDispatcher.jar brux0043 5873 gcpn-rota.txt > resultado.txt
exit
(FYI brux0043 = server, 5873 = port gcpn-rota = input file writed previously)
(the batch keeps open util the end of the called jar)

You can write a log with the timestamp whenever the batch file was executed.
put this line in your batch file
echo. |time |find "current" >> log
this will then write the timestamp when the batch file was run to the log. Also, there should be a file called log before executing the batch file.
Now your java program can monitor the log and know how many times and when the batch file was executed.

You should use
prog.waitFor()
to wait for the process to finish execution.
