Here is my code, it compiles but does not execute becuase I dont see a command prompt:

import java.io.*;

public class cmdCommands

{

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException

{

String[] shutdownCmd = new String[4];

shutdownCmd[0] = "start";

shutdownCmd[1] = "/C";

shutdownCmd[2] = "dir";

shutdownCmd[3] = "pause";

for(int i = 0; i>shutdownCmd.length;i++)

{

Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(shutdownCmd[i]);

}

}

}

This is my first time with trying to use cmd commands in java.
