Problems with System.Diagnostics.Process class

Greetings.  I am trying to use the System.Diagnostics.Process class to
perform some actions through the Windows command line.  The applicable
code appears below.  The code builds the follow command fine, and will
open the command line in the proper working directory, but will not send
the follow-up command to the command line.

The code also catches no errors.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Joe

private void deleteButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
sysProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
sysProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
sysProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
sysProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Common
Files\\Microsoft Shared\\web server extensions\\60\\bin\\";
string strCmdLine;
string shortCab;
shortCab = cabName.Text.Substring(cabName.Text.LastIndexOf("\\")+1);
//Build follow-up command
strCmdLine = "stm.exe -o deletewppack -name " + shortCab;
Debug.Write("strCmdLine = " + strCmdLine);
sysProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = strCmdLine;
sysProcess.Start();
sysProcess.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.Write("Exception: " + ex);
}
}

Looks like you're trying to build a GUI front end for stm.  Perhaps
this might interest you:
