How to run a Powershell script from WCF in C#

Question

I have java application which needs run dynamically through the power shell with my WCF c# application. I have tried the following command

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("powershell.exe", strCmd + " ; timeout 50");

But still I am unable to succeed could tell me how can I do it

I haven't got any error but the powershell is not running,which I cannot see in the server. — raja king

The Start method returns the Process so you can check the errors from it. — VMAtm

There are several Things that could be wrong here:

Does the WCF service have the required rights to run the PowerShell command?
Will the PowerShell command be executed in the correct Directory?
Should the conncatination be done before the start command?

Having said that, this is not a good idea, you are opening Your machine to attackers to run any PowerShell script they want.
