You can Runtime.exec the 'net start' command. See

I have used Runtime.exec in the past to start processes from Java classes.

However, I am not sure how this 'net start' thing is done. Can you please explain ?  Thanks a lot.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
