is it possible to call java(JVM) in a batch script for alter action?

I want to build a batch script which can call java command to start a JVM process to process the search result. I have tried that in "echo.bat" but nothing happened after the batch invoked.

Anyone know how to do that?

Thanks

Yes you can, but you almost certainly will have to set the environment properly for any java command to run.

yes, The java is in the path so that I can run it any directory.

Is "java" in the environment PATH for the user that you are running Splunk as ?

yes, I have done all the settings and I can run the batch file manually in command line. But when I try to trigger the batch alert in a schedule search, only the "echo" command executed and "java" command did not.
