Shutdown computer with message

Hi all. I am currently developing a java program that will shutdown
computers which are connected to a network. I have a function that is
able to shutdpwn the computer with a shutdown message by passing code
to the command prompt. The shutdown type that I am using for the
command prompt would be
shutdown -m \\computername -r -c "shutdown message" -f.

The -c set what the shutdown message is going to be.

If I run the program and in the box type Hello it works fine and
shutsdown the computer, however if I type Hello World it stops the
program from being able to be shutdown, however if I put HelloWorld
the programs works fine again and shuts the computer down showing the
message. It doesn't seem to like a shutdown message with spaces in.

The code that I am using to perform this shutdown is below:

try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown -m \\\\"+
remoteshutdown.mainScreen.lstComputerNames.getSelectedValue()+ "
-r -t 30 -f -c " remoteshutdown.mainScreen.txtShutdownMsg.getText());
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Fail to ShutDown" + ex.toString());
}

Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

.
