title: How do I run command line from Java code in the background?
body: <p>I have the following line to run a batch file, </p>
  
  <pre><code>Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start rake.bat");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I want it to run in the background and not display the command line to the user. How can I change it to do this?</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that the command window opens and intrupts the programs GUI. I just want the command window to not be visible while it is executing the batch file.</p>
