Appium: cannot bind listener

Question

I'm trying to make my first Appium JAVA test.
This is my code:

    System.out.println("driver being created...");
    CommandLine command = new CommandLine("cmd");
    command.addArgument(" /c",false);
    command.addArgument("C:\\Appium\\node.exe",false);
    command.addArgument("C:\\Appium\\node_modules\\appium\\bin\\appium.js",false);
    command.addArgument("--address",false);
    command.addArgument("127.0.0.1",false);
    command.addArgument("--bootstrap-port",false);
    command.addArgument("4723",false);
    command.addArgument("--no-reset",false);
    command.addArgument("--log",false);
    command.addArgument("C:\\Users\\eliyahu.n\\appiumLogs.txt",false);
    DefaultExecuteResultHandler resultHandler = new DefaultExecuteResultHandler();
    executor = new DefaultExecutor();
    executor.setExitValue(1);
    executor.execute(command, resultHandler);



    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
    capabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 0);
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Redmi");
    capabilities.setCapability("app", "C:\\Users\\eliyahu.n\\******.com.apk");
    capabilities.setCapability("appPackage","com.ls.******");
    capabilities.setCapability("appActivity","com.ls.******.activity.SplashActivity");

    Thread.sleep(8000);
    driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Appium is trying to start but fails.
It starts appium, detects JAVA version, retrieves the device, indicates device ID, device API level after that is shuts down with the following log / errors:

Answer 1

The problem is fixed by changing the following code

command.addArgument("--bootstrap-port",false);  
command.addArgument("4723",false);  

to

command.addArgument("--bootstrap-port",true);  
command.addArgument("4725",true);
