Permission denied when I execute a unix command from within my java applet.

Hi Gang,
Forgive me if this is not the appropriate forum for this problem. I'm posting this problem on this forum since I got no answers on the other forum I posted on.
I've written a simple java applet that runs a unix command and then displays some information. The applet compiles fine, and runs perfectly from the command line on my unix system.
However, when I point a browser at the applet from my desktop PC I get the following error as taken from the java console:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)
This is of course the first line in a long line of error messages. It appears that I am not able to execute a command on the unix system through my applet. I know the problem is with trying to execute a unix command since commenting it causes no error in the web browser. This is the command I'm using in java to execute the unix command:
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps");
Here's the html file on the unix system:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<appletcode=G.class height="250" width="400">
Your browser does not support the applet tag.
</applet>
</body>
</html>
I won't list the java code since it is compiling and working on the command line. But, if you want to see it I'll provide it.
I've done quite a bit of research on this and it seems that a great number of people have similar problems reading or executing files through java. I have yet to find a solution to this problem.
Here are some details about my setup:
Server:
HP9000 running HP/UX 11.23
Apache Web Server 2.0.35
Java 1.5
Desktop PC:
Win2K Pro
Internet Explorer 6
Java 1.6
If you have a solution I would be very grateful! This problem is keeping me from writing my application!
thanks!

How to execute a Perl program from within a Java prog

How do I execute a Perl program from within a Java program.
Lets say the Perl program that I want to execute is 'abc'. Now, 'abc' requires some input that I want to give it from within the Java program. How do I do it?
And finally, how do I execute that Perl program from within the Java program.
If I execute the Perl program alone then I do it in the following way -
perl abc inp1 inp2 inp3
where inp1, inp2, inp3 are inputs to the Perl program. I will not be able to change or modify the coding of the Perl program - 'abc' as I do not have access to its code. Its a kind of an application whose usual method of execution is in the above shown way. So, how do I execute 'abc' from within a Java program.

what part of don't crosspost, don't you understand?

What is the trick to 'exec' UNIX commands from within IDM?

Hellos...
We need to change the permissions of a file which an IDM script writes.
Basically I call this rule to write bytes to a file. The write method works but the exec fails.. I dont see permissions set to "666".
<block trace='true'>
<defvar name='retBuff'/>
<invoke name='writeFileUtf8' class='com.waveset.util.Util'>
<ref>fileName</ref>
<ref>xmlData</ref>
</invoke>
<set name='retBuff'>
<invoke name='exec' class='com.waveset.util.Util'>
<concat>
<s>chmod 666 </s>
<ref>fileName</ref>
</concat>
</invoke>
</set>
</block>
What is the correct method (or any way which works) to run shell commands from within IDM??????

Ok. There is no 'trick' just an appreciation of what is being executed, where.
This rule works. I was foolish in testing it via the BPE.
I start the BPE on my laptop which connects to a UNIX server. Silly me was trying to run a UNIX command on my laptop. oops.
Opening an xwindows session and starting the BPE on UNIX gives the expected results. Not sure when the BPE is finally killed off (we are on IDM 7.1) how does NetBeans handle this situation.

Call Unix Command From Reports Using Java

Hi,
Could somebody please show me a sample coding to call Unix command from 10g report using java?
In metalink doc id 361857.1 does not show much.

Hi,
I have a problem with synchronization of the java commands.
In the Before Parammeter Form trigger, I have:
function BeforePForm return boolean is
rt ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
proc ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
v_txt varchar2(32000);
i integer := 0;
v_cd_modulo int;
v_arqlog text_io.file_type;
cursor c_evento is
select codigo,
nome
from
(select e.cd_evento || e.cd_edicao codigo
,nm_evento nome
from grh_ev_evento e
where e.CD_GRUPO in (select cd_grupo
from grh_ev_adm
where cd_usuario = (select cd_usuario
from usuario
where login_usuario = :AUTHID)))
order by substr(nome, 11);
begin
-- Create the context for logged user
if instr(upper(nvl(:AUTHID,'RWCLIENT')),'RWCLIENT') > 0 then
:AUTHID := :SSO_USUARIO;
end if ;
TCEENV.SET_TCEENV(:AUTHID);
if PK_SCA.SCA_GET_USER_RIGHTS(:sca_module_name, :AUTHID) IS NULL then
srw.message(100, 'Access denided!');
return (FALSE);
end if;
-- Create file in Report Server (UNIX)
v_txt := '<BR>' || htf.formSelectOpen('P_EV_EDICAO', 'Evento: ');
:p_file := '/u03/SCAWEB/repout/' || :sca_module_name || '_' ||
pk_sca.sca_encrypt(:AUTHID || to_char(systimestamp, 'ss.ff'));
v_arqlog := text_io.fopen (:p_file, 'A');
text_io.put_line (v_arqlog, v_txt);
for reg in c_evento loop
i := i + 1;
if i = 1 then
v_txt := '<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="' || reg.codigo || '">' || reg.nome;
else
v_txt := '<OPTION VALUE="' || reg.codigo || '">' || reg.nome;
end if;
text_io.put_line (v_arqlog, v_txt);
end loop;
v_txt := '</SELECT></CENTER></form></BODY> </HTML>';
text_io.put_line (v_arqlog, v_txt);
text_io.fclose (v_arqlog);
SRW.SET_AFTER_FORM_HTML(SRW.FILE_ESCAPE, :p_file);
rt := RUNTIME.GetRuntime();
proc := RUNTIME.exec(rt,'rm ' || :p_file);
return (TRUE);
end;
The problem is that there isn't a "synchronize" command, and the
RUNTIME.exec(rt,'rm ' || :p_file) don't works (it does nothing) because
the SRW.SET_AFTER_FORM_HTML has a large delay and the following
command is ignored.
How can I solve it?
thanks,

Running unix commands from within a procedure

Oracle 11.1, AIX 6.1
================
A developer would like to know what the commands are to execute from within a procedure to run unix commands on the database server and capture those results back to the procedure for parsing & manipulation.
Thanks.

Don't take this as the correct way to do it, but this is merely 'a' way to do it:
have a db procedure thats executes a db function
create or replace procedure csproc(p_cmd in varchar2)
as
x number;
begin
x:=csfunc(p_cmd);
dbms_output.put_line('x is: '||x);
end;
/The function calls a piece of java to execute the os command and return the return code of the os command
create or replace function csfunc( p_cmd in varchar2) return number
as language java
name 'csclass.RunThis(java.lang.String[]) return integer';
/Here is the java class to run the os command
create or replace and compile java source
named "csclass"
as
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class csclass extends Object
public static int RunThis(String[] args)
   Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    int        rc = -1;
    try
       Process p = rt.exec(args[0]);
      int bufSize = 4096;
       BufferedInputStream bis =
       new BufferedInputStream(p.getInputStream(), bufSize);
       int len;
       byte buffer[] = new byte[bufSize];
       // Echo back what the program spit out
       while ((len = bis.read(buffer, 0, bufSize)) != -1)
          System.out.write(buffer, 0, len);
       rc = p.waitFor();
    catch (Exception e)
       e.printStackTrace();
       rc = -1;
    finally
       return rc;
/and finally the os command - in this case its a very simple shell script
#!/usr/bin/ksh
echo "Hi" >> /app/oracle/workdir/cs.logwill have to grant privileges to my user 'CS' to run the various os commands
exec dbms_java.grant_permission('CS','java.io.FilePermission','/app/oracle/workdir/cs.ksh','read,execute');
exec dbms_java.grant_permission('CS','java.io.FilePermission','/app/oracle/workdir/cs.log','write');
exec dbms_java.grant_permission('CS','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','*','readFileDescriptor');
exec dbms_java.grant_permission('CS','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','*','writeFileDescriptor');and finally can run the procedure from within the db
set serveroutput on
exec dbms_java.set_output(1000000);
exec csproc('/app/oracle/workdir/cs.ksh');
x is: 0
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.to prove it works ok the logfile shows an entry:
'Hi'

How can native executable files be started from within a Java application.

Hi Everyone,
I am currently working on an application that will have the ability to start a program within Windows. What I intend on having is a button within my GUI that can start Microsoft Word. I am completely lost as to where I should begin in order to make this work. If anybody has any pointers they will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Executing a bash command from Java

I want to execute a bash command from within a Java application on the server. I know how to do simple commands, but this command is killing me. I get nothing back when I send it.
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"ps","-ef","","grep","evolution"});
There is also another part where I want the results piped to awk and fetch out the pids. BUt with this not working the rest is a waste for now.

I read the article and I tried the things he/she is proposing, also the error stream, guess what it outputs: nothing.Maybe you did it wrong. If you didn't do it wrong, then that program you're invoking is poorly written, because it dies in error without producing any error messages.
And I also searched for the exitValue 138, but didn't get much further than that its some system specific value. If you know where I can find more information, I would appreciate if you let me know about it. As jschell pointed out it's probably app specific. You can search the source code and/or documentation of that program to see if they say what 138 means.
Apart from that -- it seems that environment and run directory issues can trip this up. Try checking that stuff out. Maybe your program expects something on the executable PATH that isn't there. Or maybe you're not running it in the working directory that you think you are.

How to execute unix command from ODI Procedure

Hi,
I am trying to execute below unix command from ODI Procedure (Command on Target tab) but I am getting the error "java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "cd": error=2, No such file or directory" but when I try to execute the same command using OdiOSCommand, it is executing successfully. I don't want to use shell script to execute this command. Is there any specific syntax am I missing to execute this command from ODI procedure?
cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst
Please help me on this...
Thanks
MT

Hi nahlikh,
Thank you for the reply.
I used below command in Procedure but still getting the same error as "java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "OdiOSCommand": error=2, No such file or directory".
OdiOSCommand "-COMMAND=cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst"
as I mentioned earlier if I use the command cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst in OdiOSCommand tool it is executing successfully without any issues.
any thoughts appreciated to get a solution for this issue.
Thanks

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.

Execute shell command from within pascal code

Hello there,
I am trying to execute a shell command from within my pascal code. I use XCode together with FreePascal. I have tried something like:
exec ('program', 'options');
adding the 'Dos' unit to the Uses clause of my program.
Thus, e.g.,
exec ('mkdir', '/A')
to create a directory with the name 'A'.
However, my attempts so far were unsuccessful. Can anyone help me on this, and perhaps provide a simple example of how to do it right?
Thank you in advance,
Shane

In the mean time, I found the problem myself. I am just posting the solution here for anyone that is interested. My original solution was correct, in that the 'Dos' Unit must be added, and that the right command is 'exec'. There was however a problem with the correct path to the program that I wanted to invoke. In the shell, this program was accessible from anywhere. However, in the 'exec' command, the full path to the program must be given. Since I am not a Unix expert, I don't know the reason for this.
So, in summary, the solution is:
Uses Dos;
begin
exec ('full path to program', 'program options');
e.g.: exec ('/bin/sh', '/run.sh') to process the commands in the file /run.sh
end
Hope this may be of help to anyone else.

How to execute a Unix Command in java

Hi, Iam trying to execute a unix command on Sun Solaris by passing that command to a java program. How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the javadoc around the Runtime.exec() method. If the command is a shell command then you might have to execute a shell as well as the command.
For example, if you wanted to run a unix command 'ls -l > output.txt' the you might have to pass the following string into the exec() method,
"/bin/sh ls -l > output.txt'
