Using java to run multiple commands in terminal?

Question

Is there a way to write and run .bat files in Java then delete them after, or doing so in java without the use of batch files, I need each client to be loaded on its own instance of prompt.

Here's my loader class

public class TBotLoader implements Runnable {

    private Thread t;
    private String name;
    private String password;
    private int script;
    private String acc;
    private String proxy;
    private int world;

    public TBotLoader(String name, String password, int script, String acc, String proxy, int world){
        this.name = name;
        this.password = password;
        this.script = script;
        this.acc = acc;
        this.proxy = proxy;
        this.world = world;
        System.out.println("Creating Thread: " + acc);
    }
    @Override
    public void run() {
        final String home = System.getProperty("user.home");
        try {
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar " + home + "/Documents/proj/jar.jar" + " -s " + this.script + " -a " + this.acc + " -n " + this.name + " -pw " + this.password + " -w " + this.world + " -proxy " + this.proxy);
            Thread.sleep(50);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Failed to spawn clients");
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }

    public void start() {
        System.out.println("Starting thread: " + this.acc);
        t = new Thread(this, acc);
        t.start();
    }
}

You're talking about terminal (unix) but also about bat files (Windows), what OS are you targeting? — 66h3m3ab

Windows, misuse of the word "terminal". Please replace with "prompt". — CaffeineToCode

It's difficult to diagnose the problem here. Please provide a MVCE. As for the .bat writing, I highly doubt Java provides support for writing batch files, as they are platform specific. — CaffeineToCode

.bat files can just be text files with that extension, so Java can handle those. — Ascalonian

Java can write .bat files since they are just text files with a bat extension. — tinker

Since .bat files are just text files, you can use a FileOutputStream to create them. I would then look into Runtime.getRuntime().exec(""); or ProcessBuilder to execute them and then just delete the file when done.
