Cleartool commands not working using Java processbuilder

Question

I am trying to execute cleartool commands from batch script using Java ProcessBuilder but it is getting stuck at rebase command

[startview command is executed successfully (ERRORLEVEL = 0)]

When I try using Runtime.exec with command array [{"cleartool.exe","<startview command>"}], it says

cleartool Error: unrecognized command startview

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Make sure the cleartool rebase does not involve any interactive step (where it would stop and listen for input on stdin).

Make sure your CMD has, by default, in its %PATH% environment variable a path to cleartool.exe.
Then follow this answer:

String commandToBeExecuted="cleartool xxx"
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd", "/c", commandToBeExecuted);

Since cmd.exe is blocked ("cmd is disabled"), the OP A K Malik confirms that not using an array works:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("<rebase command>")

problem is , we cant use cmd as it is disabled by he administrator. I will check for %PATH% – A K Malik Dec 07 '15 at 10:46
@AKMalik no, cmd should be available, there is no reason to disable it. – VonC Dec 07 '15 at 11:20
Its my office system and cmd is disabled.Anyway its working now. The problem was with the command. Thanks – A K Malik Dec 08 '15 at 05:48
@AKMalik what was the problem? – VonC Dec 08 '15 at 05:49
I was using command array, and when I converted the whole command into single array it worked. [runtime.exec("") instead of runtime.exec({"cleartool.exe","rebase command"}) ] – A K Malik Dec 08 '15 at 06:44
@AKMalik OK. I have included your conclusion in the answer for more visibility. – VonC Dec 08 '15 at 06:59
