Java Azure Function running powershell script

Question

I have an Azure function using java, as part of the java call I need to run a powershell script, I have done this in the past on windows machined via:

command = "c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"+" script.ps1 ";
Process powerShellProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

This does not seem to be working, I then tried simply powershell.exe but also no luck, does anyone know how I can run this powershell script via the azure function?

@Arnone, Anthony ,

Powershell.exe would always be running in the Azure Function Windows platform. You can confirm this by navigating to the Kudu (Advanced Tools) site , select debug console -> Powershell and run the below command in the powershell console. It will give the path of the powershell.exe in Azure function

"Get-Process | Select-Object Path"
