Execute GUI commands from the command line

Greetings!

I have a rather simply query to put forward, how would I go about exectuing GUI commands from the command line?

You see, I must collect all the S/N of our Windows 7 installations to ensure that we are complying with our site license agreement. We have, however, several computers to check and I would like to automate this process. So far, I have found KeyFinder, which will auto-magically find the S/N and then you can save that output to a text file. This process still forces us to check each computer individually, though, and I thought that a batch script might help automate the process.

So far I can run the program, but have no way of accessing the GUI menu in order to save the file:

Code:

---

@echo off
START "Key Finder" /Dpath\to\network\drive "keyfinder-2.0.1.exe"

---

Which, as you may know, merely starts the program. How then, can I add into my batch script the functionality to save the output? Better yet, have you found a quicker way to automatically grab the S/N of your Windows installations?

Thank you all kindly for your time, and eagerly await your responses.

You can look at Exec library form the Apache Commons project. Also check the below example given like javac Filename.java from java gui :

java.lang.ProcessBuilder

java.lang.Runtime.exec(...)

Or you can also download the “Script Executor” GUI and command prompt tool for multiple scripts execution.
