Answer 1

you can try to program "exit" into the command prompt after you are done with your tasks in command prompt

Answer 2

if you're using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(), it returns a Process object. You should hold on to that and call Process.destroy() when you're done.

Answer 3

It's simple -

Step 1 - Create a batch file (say closeCMD.bat)

Step 2 - write exit in closeCMD.bat

Step 3 - call above batch file in your java code as below -

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start closeCMD.bat");

That's it !! Cheers!!
