Console error on executing cmd command in java

Question

I am trying to execute a cmd command to crash an app from java like

String command = "@upwork.exe --args -url=chrome://crash  -disable-web-security -script-url=https://172.27.68.6/pre_alpha/";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

The issue is the command runs fine and crashes the app, but I get a failure

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "@upwork.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

I am not sure why this is happening. Any suggestions would be of great help

Is the `@` a real part of the file name or did you just add it for some reason? — RealSkeptic, Feb 15 '17 at 12:12
@ in his path should probably be something like this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5179389/at-sign-in-file-path-string — acikojevic, Feb 15 '17 at 12:24

Your code is trying to run @upwork.exe, which it can't find. Does this file exist?

As your exception log says, The system cannot find the file specified

Try to give full path of @upwork.exe file.
