"at" UNIX Command in Java Program

Friends,
1. "at" command in UNIX execute Unix command at a scheduled time. 2. For each user there will be a table maintained internally which can be accessed by "at" with "-l" argument.
3. A mail will be sent to the owner with the output of the commands as a message.
I tried to run the "at" command of Unix in JSP, which gets succesfully executed in Oracle 10g App Server container (Installed in Solaris machine). I have tested the successful execution of command with the log file. But I haven't got any mail for the output. If anyone had any idea, please help me.
The code I have wtitten is
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(new String[] {"sh","-c","at 2115 Dec 7 < /export/home/usr1/abc.sh"});
InputStream stderr = proc.getErrorStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stderr);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line = null;
logger.info("<ERROR>");
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
logger.info(line);
logger.info("</ERROR>");
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
logger.info("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
My doubts are:
1. Who is the owner of the output of "at"command, which gets executed under Oracle 10g App Server container?
2. If no one is the owner, then where will the output of "at" command will go?
3. Is there any other way to execute "at" command of UNIX in java program? If so, then please help me.
Thanks in advance.

filestream I have to ask - what's a chav ?
I have doubts abut what it is :-)
Seriously though, what is that an abbreviation for?
That's a new one to me.
http://www.chavscum.co.uk
chavs are roughly analogous to rednecksI wouldn't use that analogy. While both may lack certain social graces, rednecks typically don't receive ASBOs.
Chavs favor small cars with lots of bling whereas rednecks are likely to drive a pickup or a large sedan.
Chavs have pitbulls in their yards (gardens), rednecks an '84 Mustang LX on cinder blocks.
etc, etc.

Execute Unix command from Java program running on windows

Hello,
I need to write a java program that fetches file count in a particular unix machine directory. But java program will be running on windows machine.
The program should execute unix list command and fetch the output of that command.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I had a similiar problem, though years ago. It was to have a java program execute any other. Lately, I've had to have a java program running on a unix machine execute a shell script. Entirely two different scenarios. I'm not sure what you will need for your app, but look into this:
Java Native Interface for executing C/C++ code.
C/C++ Code for launching the program you need to run.
java.lang.Runtime(?).exec(....)
With a combination of that stuff, you can make a launcher for any os that has Java running on it, and with Runtime, you can exec() pretty near any sort of unix shell or app command you'd like.
Good luck.

Are you sure you want cygwin/cygwin?
the following works fine for me, you may need change the workDir to your bin folder
import java.io.File; // is java code
import java.io.InputStream;
public class RunSystemCommand {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable {
     String s = null;

     Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd, null, workDir);
     InputStream pis = p.getInputStream();
     while( pis.read() != -1 ); // added, as otherwise the ls hangs.
     p.waitFor();

Call an interactive UNIX command from java

Hi,
I want to call a UNIX command from java. When issue the command 'htpasswd -c filename username' on UNIX terminal, it asks for the new password and the then confirmation password again (yeah, unfortunately the htpasswd installed on our system does not allow you proivde the password on the command line. So have to work interactively ). Now, I have written a simple java program RunCommand.java. I am hardcoding the password for the htpasswd command in the file (in the real situation, password will be generated dynamically). I want to issue 'java RunCommand' on the UNIX command line and get back the command prompt without being asked for the password twice. The code is below, but the Outputstream does not work as expected. It always asks for inputs. Any idea? Many thanks.
import java.io.*;
public class RunCommand {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String s = null;
try {
String cmd = "htpasswd -c filename username ";
// run a Unix command
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
OutputStream stdOut = p.getOutputStream();
String pswd = "mypassword";
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
     s = stdInput.readLine();
     stdOut.write(pswd.getBytes());
     stdOut.flush();
System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
stdOut.close();
stdInput.close();
stdError.close();
System.exit(0);
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("exceptions caught: ");
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);

Invoking Unix command with java stored procedure

Hi,
I have a perfectly working environment and now I am trying to replicate the same in another server. I have a java stored procedure which invokes the Unix command using java Runtime.exec() in my code named "run". I am sure that the code is called and the java class run is resolved in oracle as I could see that in dba_java_resolvers dictionary. But I am not sure whether the function in java is called or whether a exception is thrown. how to identify this? Could there be any thing to do with settings in oracle side? please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Marutha

Hi,
Do you get any output while running the code?
I'm testing similar solution and if there are any errors or Oracle can't execute the program due to permissions or other issues the error information will be displayed. Also in the Java class itself you need to catch exceptions and print stack trace to standard output.
declare
x number;
begin
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
dbms_java.set_output(1000000);
x:=system_command.run_command('testconnect.sh');
dbms_output.put_line('Returned value='||x);
exception
when others then dbms_output.put_line('Sql error='||substr(sqlerrm,1,250));
end;
<system_command.run_command> - replace with a call to your java stored procedure.

How to execute dos command in Java program?

In Perl, it has System(command) to call dos command.
Does java have this thing?
or any other way to execute dos command in java program?
Because i must call javacto compile a file when the user inputed a java file name.

Look in the Runtime class, it is implemented using the Singleton design pattern so you have to use the static method getRuntime to get its only instance, on that instance you can invoke methods like
exec(String command) that will execute that command in a dos shell.

Gerrit.

Problem in executing a unix command through java

hi
i'm trying to execute unix command through java
simple shell command like "ls -l >test " but i'm not able to see the result.
there are no error messages.
Code is:
import java.lang.Runtime.*;
class ExecDemo
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
          Process p=null;
          try
               p=r.exec("ls -l > test");
          catch (Exception e)
               System.out.println("Error executing nedit.");
}can anyone help please.

get the the inputStream of the runtime object after executing the command.
now use the readLine() function until it becomes null.
egs: with reference to ur code.
InputStream is=p.getInputStream()
while(is!=null)
String s=is.readLine();
if the command don't execute try giving the full path also like /sbin/ls -l

Problem while running dos command from java program

Dear friends,
I need to terminate a running jar file from my java program which is running in the windows os.
For that i have an dos command to find process id of java program and kill by using tskill command.
Command to find process id is,
wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid
This command gives the ProcessList.txt file and it contains the processid. I have to read this file to find the processid.
when i execute this command in dos prompt, it gives the processid in the ProcessList.txt file. But when i execute the same command in java program it keeps running mode only.
Code to run this command is,
public class KillProcess {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          KillProcess kProcess = new KillProcess();
          kProcess.getRunningProcess();
          kProcess = new KillProcess();
          kProcess.readProcessFile();
     public void getRunningProcess() {
          String cmd = "wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where \"name='java.exe'\" get commandline,processid";
          try {
               Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
               Process process = run.exec(cmd);
               int i = process.waitFor();
               String s = null;
               if(i==0) {
                    BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
                           InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
                    while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                     System.out.println("--> "+s);
               } else {
                    BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
                           InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
                    while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
                     System.out.println("====> "+ s);
               System.out.println("Running process End....");
          } catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     public String readProcessFile() {
          System.out.println("Read Process File...");
          File file = null;
          FileInputStream fis = null;
          BufferedReader br = null;
          String pixieLoc = "";
          try {
               file = new File("ProcessList.txt");
               if (file.exists() && file.length() > 0) {
                    fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                    br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis, "UTF-16"));
                    String line;
                    while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println(line);
               } else {
                    System.out.println("No such file");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          return pixieLoc;
}     when i remove the process.waitFor(), then while reading the ProcessList.txt file, it says "No such file".
if i give process.waitFor(), then it's in running mode and program is not completed.
Colud anyone please tell me how to handle this situation?
or Is there anyother way to kill the one running process in windows from java program?
Thanks in advance,

Execute unix commands from Java

Hi,
I have a client application running on windows. This client should connect to a unix server and check for the existence of a file and display the result as "File found/File not found". In order to connect from windows to the unix server, I used the sockets and the connection is successfully established. The second part is to check for the presence of the file in unix server. I searched in google.com and the option I found to execute a unix command from java is the "Runtime.exec()". Runtime.exec is considered as the less effective (not a favorable) one.
Is there any other option available (other than the Runtime) to execute the unix command from java? Can you please let me know.
Thanks a lot
Aishu

So, please let me know how I can execute the above unix commands without Runtime.exec()You have a client and a server.
You want something to run on the server, not the client.
That means that something must in fact being running on the server before the client does anything at all.
For example telnet. Or a J2EE server application.
So is something like that running?
If not then there absolutely no way to do what you want, even with Runtime.exec().
If yes then what you do depends on what is running. So Runtime.exec() would be pointless if a J2EE server was running.

Please help How can i run Os commands thru Java programs

Hey,
I want to stop and restart the linux server thru java program.Is it possible to run the os commands thru java program.
I had it thru Runtime.getRuntime().exec("*.exe");
it only runs the exe files.How can run files other than exe files like .bat,com ans shell commands..Any body knows please help with the code..or mail to this address
[email protected]
thankyou,
regards,
j.mouli

What about "start command.com /C execute.bat", or using the overload that takes a String[] as argument?
What if you use the the full path of execute.bat?
What error code do you get?
And what comes th linux, I'm not sure... you'll need a shell interpreter there too, me thinks. (never had to run anything with runtime.exec on linux). Check the man pages if csh, bash, ksh, or what ever shell you like.

How do run unix command in java

hi
All unix command working fine in our java program.
but i want change user in linux by using java. it's not working.
"su root" This command onely not working.
anybody know help me
This is my ID [email protected]
This my code
<% String s = null;
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su root");
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null)
out.println(s);
catch(Exception e) {}

I don't have further info to add to your first post, but think your guess seems quite reasonable. I thought of starting a new thread on the same topic, but think this (question) fits in here, too.
I have Java code (freeware, not opensoure), intended for Unix, which basically provides the graphical interface and relies on an I/O layer (C + shell scripts) to do most of the work. I have access to the C+shell scripts which are opensource. I ported it to Cygwin and want to use it under Windows (there is no Cygwin native Java VM).
My problem now boils down to " how to run commands under Unix and what differences are there with Windows". What are the variants?
I have to guess what the program is doing when I get an IOException at some point. E.g.: a call to shell script may be made in a different way as to a compiled exe in Unix?. I found a way to bypass path problems because forward slashes are also accepted and /cygdrive/c construct can be replace by c:/; shell scripts can be compiled into exes using shc and they work; if symbolic links are replaced by duplication of exe files, they work. What will happen in an instance whereby a process runs a shell script dynamically, through a pipe (the shell script is compiled in the Cygwin/win version and receives parameters) in a construct like:
pipefp = epopen(cmdbuf,"w"); /* (cmbuf is "makehdr par1 par2 ... ") (makehdr was a shell script and is now compiled exe for Cygwin/Windows) */?.
Thanks.
