Run a bat file with argument via server method

Question

Hello Everyone, 
 I would like to run a bat file with argument on server via server method. I saw the same topic on forum in several year ago but they also have no solution. 
 https://community.aras.com/f/archive/2847/developers-forum---trying-to-execute-custom-batch-file-through-aras 
 Is it possible to run a bat file (or an application) on server via server method? Pls help.

Hi DucTran 
 You can use below server method to run the bat file 
 string inputPath = string.Format(@"C:\Backup\Test"); //Directory of the Bat file System.Diagnostics.Process command = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); command.StartInfo.FileName = Path.Combine(inputPath, "Hello.bat"); // Bat file Name string outputPath = Path.Combine(inputPath, "output.txt"); //Output file command.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("\"{0}\" \"{1}\" \"{2}\"", inputPath, outputPath, inputPath); command.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; command.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; command.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = inputPath; command.Start(); if (!command.WaitForExit(3000)) //Execution allowed time to prevent system hung { throw new Exception(string.Format("The process '{0}' is not responding", command.StartInfo.FileName)); } 
 if (command.ExitCode != 0) { throw new Exception(string.Format("The process '{0}' has finished with error (ErrorCode={1})", command.StartInfo.FileName, command.ExitCode)); } return this; 
 Note: If you get access denied error, provide access to that folder to everyone an try 
 
 Thank You
