If you are using a linux system, you can invoke the database init script using java. They are usually located in /etc/init.d/mysql[d] ond BSD variants it is found in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. I am not sure how this work in Windows environments.

You have to ensure that your user which is running the process is allowed to execute this scripts.
