Accessing Shell script form Safari

Hello All,
I have a shell script that i use for rdp. At the moment when i run "connect.sh rdp://myserver" from command line, it works perfectly calling rdesktop and querying the authentication servers.
However i have been trying to use the automator (Utilities > Run Shell Script) to allow me click on rdp links on webpages but i cant seem to get it to work.
Please can anyone help with this?
Thanks

I'm not sure if I understand your reply about my response. But perhaps you'll find the "sudo" command helpful, which unlike the "su" command, will prompt the users for their own password, or no password according to /etc/sudoers. You use the "visudo" command to edit the file. The sudo command is normally used to run system administration tasks, without giving the user the root password but it can also be used to give access only to certain commands. The -u option causes sudo to run the specified command as a user other than root. I have not used "sudoers" for anything else but root, but there are plenty of examples and tutorials on the web that might help you.

Downloading shell scripts with safari changes filename

Hi,
When I download a shell script using Safari, the file is saved with a ".sh" at the end, even if the file doesn't have any extension. Is there a way to have Safari just same the file with the original filename and not add the ".sh"?
Thanks,
Allan

Interesting that Safari even knows what a shell script is. Its just a text file, with the user's executable bit set. Curious. Does Safari assume any executable text file is something that should be run from the shell? That would be strange, as anything I pull off my FAT32 drive has the executable bit set, too (thanks, Windows).

Execute a unix shell script from forms9i

Hi ,
I would like to execute a unix shell script form a form when they pressed a button. The forms server is on Linux machine. I tried but when I pressed the button nothings happen. Could some one please help me how I could get working.
Is there is a way I could execute the unix shell script from PL/SQL proceudre or package.
Please some one help me.
Bain

You would not expect to see anything happening because the
script cannot directly send output to the web form. However, you can get it to write output to a file and use web.show_document in the form after the host command to display the file and see the output.

Call Form using Shell Script

Hi,
Is it possible to call the 10g form through Shell Script.
If so,Can you tel me the Procedure how to cal the form.
Thanks,
Gany

Don't think so...
Still? Suppose that were possible, what would you expect to do? You mean to launch a form on the client workstation? A form normally opens in the Forms applet, that is launched from the web browser. So, to run a form, you need to access a web-page that launches that form.
Only rather old versions of forms (those previous to 6) do have a runtime that runs on the operating system and not through an applet that communicates with the application server.
I believe the call_form and open_form commands in forms should suffice for all that one needs (eventually open_form('x_form',activate,session) ).

Host in forms 10g and execute shell script

Hi!
I have a little problem. When I transfer form to AS through SSH protocol I want to automatically generate form on AS wit h code:
declare
lv_server_dir vc2() := /folder1/folder2;
lv_file_name vc2():= a.fmb;
host(lv_server_dir||'/ftp_gen.sh '||lv_server_dir||' '||lv_file_name);
In file ftp_gen.sh is code:
export ORACLE_HOME=myOracleHome
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export SQLPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs
export NLS_LANG=SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.EE8ISO8859P2
export DISPLAY=:2
cd $1
./gen.sh $3
When I execute this command on form nothing happens.
What could be wrong?
Thanx,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,
Executing the HOST Command will execute in the Mid Tier and nothing will show up in the Client. (other than the form go into Blocking mode). Just check out whether the Operation you wanted to do in the Mid tier is done or not. (Here it looks like you are compiling a form. So, check out that the fmx is generated.)
Alternatively to check out the proper execution of the HOST command, you can generate a file in the Mid-tier (on successful execution of the shell script) and read the file using TEXT_IO and display a message to user.
HTH.

Shell script to start forms and reports server on reboot

Does anyone have on shell script to automatically start up the forms and reports server on unix after a reboot?
thanks much

I also recompiled the "test.fmb" that came with the 10g Forms and Server on my windows xp machine and when I downloaded it back to the Linux Forms and Server machine, it loss the functionality of the "OK" button which is suppose to perform "exit_form" when pressed.
BTW, I am using 10G developer suite on windows xp.

Need last [login, access, bind] time plugin and/or shell script

Hi Gurus,
I was wondering if anyone could share their pre-op bind plugin (and/or shell script) to store the last access time. We have a heterogeneous UNIX environment (Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux clients and Sun JES DS 5.2 on Solaris 9 as name service repository) and need to implement account suspension if the user has not logged in in the specified period.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, I've updated my OP with proper code tags.

I'm attempting to use the 'g13' outlined section
I will look into udev rules, thanks again.

Accessing concurrent prg parameter values having space in shell script

Hi, I have a CP that is tied to Host (shell script). One of the parameter values of CP contains spaces. When I print this parameter ($5) in shell script, space is taken as terminator and it parses it in mutiple postions, like if value is "Hello There" then $5 comes as "Hello" and $6 comes as "There"
How do I access whole values including space as one parameter value?
Regards,
Harish

Hi Ashutoosh,
OS is SunSolaris 5.9
My problems was that if I pass a value from concurrent program that has space and wanted to access that value in shell script as one parameter, it won't allow.
I did anlaysis on this and I think for now, there is no way out. If I pass values from unix to shell script it works, because I will enclose in quotes.
I removed the spaces while passing value from Concurrent program and was able to achieve what I wanted but its an work around.
Thanks,
Harish

Run a shell script from FORM

Hi,
Is there a way that we can run a shell script on UNIX box from ORACLE FORMS 4.5 running on client PC (OS=windows on client,
DB on unix).
Thanks in advance for help

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Anton Weindl ([email protected]):
You can either use rsh or rexec (both available on windows). You will have to edit the .rhosts in the home directory of the unix user the script will be run under:
<Client-Hostname> <USER>
<USER> must match the Windows-User exactly.
You can then execute the Shell-Script with
host('rsh <HOST> -l <USER> sh <SCRIPT>',NO_SCREEN)
Hope that helps

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thank You Anton Weindl,
It seems like the thing I want to use instead of the dbms_pipe.
I tried to use rsh and gives me the following message
command: "rsh taurus -l nileshs test.sh"
where taurus is hostname and
guest is unix username
I am logged on windows 2000 with this name.
"taurus permission denied:"
"rsh can't establish connection"
Let me know if I am missing anything.
Thanks.

How we can call or execute a SHELL script through Oracle forms or Reports

How we can call or execute a SHELL script through Oracle forms or Reports.Its urgent.......

Use HOST command.

How to prevent Automator's "run shell script" to create fully decomposed forms of my strings ?

I am using Automator's "run shell script" and I am seeing that it outputs fully decomposed forms of my strings.
For example, when I set the action to "echo été" in a service (with "Replace selected text" activated) and run that into a Textwrangler window, I'll get fully decomposed forms that Textwrangler won't understand. But when I simply type that command into Terminal, I get my string in composed form.
The problem is not the display issue, but the fact that if I want to run grep for example in "run shell script", I will not be able to find the proper strings since the forms are different.

Originally I was using $@ to parse a string and get the result pasted by the service. That was a while ago. There, I noticed that some Japanese characters were messed up. Basically all the kana characters that come with voicing markers like が-ga (instead of か-ka) etc. I did not have the time to pursue that issue though.
Then, last night, I found that a colleague of mine had tried to use $@ to feed to a local dictionary application called ding (http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/Local/urz/ding/). His problem was with characters that had umlauts. After verifying how he wrote his action I remembered that I had similar issues with Japanese.
Basically his command was "/path/to/ding $@"
That's supposed to use the selected string as an argument to pass to ding, which will launch a Wish application where the string is used as the searched item.
From Terminal, that works a treat. But the exact same line in Automator (with input as argument, not as stdin) messed the composition and the resulting string was not recognized by ding as a match to what it was supposed to match.
So, I tried a few things to get to the core of the issue and found that a simple "echo [accented characters]" was enough to reproduce the difference in string handling between Automator and Terminal. That difference is also reproduced on a number of person's machines.
I have a number of services that basically revolve on "run shell script" actions and involve 3rd party application outputs, preference files etc. so it would not be convenient to show that to you.
I have sent a mail about this issue to the automator list yesterday too:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Automator-users/2011/Jun/msg00004.html

Executing a shell script from a form (client / server)

Environment:
Server: SunOS 5.6

Forms - 6.0.5.34.0

Yes. Use the host command from forms and call the command rexec.

Acess a collection form a shell script

can v access/assign the values stored in a collection to a unix shell script variable... without spooling....
please let me know...

> i. How many records can the variable MYVAR hold..is there a limt?
I would expect so. Even if there is no theoretical limit (which I doubt in this case), there is still physical limitations ito memory.
I would not use a shell variable to stuff in any large amount of data into. I would rather write that output to a file and then use a while read loop to process that file, one line at a time.
> ii. If I have my collection in a plsql block ( as I return the records from a delete statement to
the collection using the returning into... clause ) how can I pass the collection values to
sqlplus.....
You can use a PL/SQL function that returns that collection. E.g.
create or replace myFunction( ..parameters... ) return TMyCollection is ..
And then you can simply select from it via the SQL engine. E.g.
select * from TABLE( myFunction( ..parameters... ) )
However.. that said. I do not like anything much of this approach. Exactly what are you trying to achieve? And why use shell scripts to achieve that?
