Automator running a sed command hangs...

I'm attempting to pass a lot of text to a Run Shell Script action. Simply put...
sed 's/= /=/'
Easy right? It should replace all '= ' with '=' to stdin.
For some reason my computer will only run this once. To get past this action I need to restart the computer, reopen Automator and attempt to run the whole workflow again.
I've saved the text to a textedit.rtf and run the sed command from Terminal. It returns results immediately. Again... Automator will only run this once before requiring a restart to get past that action.
I think I've successfully narrowed this down to an Automator problem.
Has anyone seen problems with Automator running shell script actions? If so, what's a good workaround?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I've had a similar problem out running shell scripts out of Automator when the automator workflow is saved as an application. The particular script I've been having this problem with runs a bunch of "open /Users/foo/somedocument" commands which work fine if it is run as a workflow in Automator, but hang if the workflow is saved as a application and run by clicking the application icon.
I haven't had time to look into the problem until now, but if I find something I will report back.

Certreq -submit run locally returns successful but run remote via invoke-command hangs

Good morning I have been struggling with a certificate request script.
The requesting server is in the dmz and I have a management server internally.
I successfully create the Inf file, as well as the req file then copy the req file to my internal management server. Once copied internal I attempt to run the following command from my laptop executing as my admin account
$Fqdn = "server.dmz.com"
$managementServer = "InternalServer"
$Path = "C$\Test\CertRequests"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Managementserver -ScriptBlock {param($CertificateAuthority,$FQDN,$Managementserver,$Path) certreq.exe -submit -attrib "CertificateTemplate:DVNOfflineComputer" -config "$CertificateAuthority" "\\$Managementserver\$Path\$FQDN.req" "\\$Managementserver\$Path\$FQDN.crt"} -ArgumentList $CertificateAuthority,$FQDN,$Managementserver,$Path
This exact command pasted into a powershell window locally on the management server returns the crt file.
Run via invoke-command just hangs forever. I even tried to the Silent=True in inf file as well as -q but neither worked.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason,
I reform the script as below, and add the "test-path" to check if the .req and .crt files exist, please also note you haven't assign value to the "$CertificateAuthority" variable:
$Fqdn = "server.dmz.com"
$managementServer = "InternalServer"
$Path = "C$\Test\CertRequests"
$CertificateAuthority = "something"
$script={
param($CertificateAuthority,$FQDN,$Managementserver,$Path)
test-path "\\$Managementserver\$Path\$FQDN.req"
test-path "\\$Managementserver\$Path\$FQDN.crt"
certreq.exe -submit -attrib "CertificateTemplate:DVNOfflineComputer" -config $CertificateAuthority "\\$Managementserver\$Path\$FQDN.req" "\\$Managementserver\$Path\$FQDN.crt"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Managementserver -ScriptBlock $script -ArgumentList $CertificateAuthority,$FQDN,$Managementserver,$Path
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Copy command hangs

Hello All,
I'm having problems copying data between
oracle 8.1.6.1 dbs, both running on Red
Hat 6.2.
I'm using syntax like
copy from username/password@server -
insert applications -
using select * from applications
This works fine when copying between
oracle 8.1.6.2 dbs running on solaris,
but on linux the command hangs and
starts sucking up CPU.
Thanks in advance,
Asif.

thx Kaj for your quick and helpful reply...
now i just use xcopy with /Q to not display so much information!!
but what's the good way to read both stdout and stderr at the same time and store them as useful informations!?
thx again : )

How can I run a dos command from java on windows 98, 95?

The usage of cmd.exe in the java program to run a dos command on windows 98. 95 doesn't work as the equivalent command is command.exe
But using the command.exe in the java program makes my program to hang.

hi,
As u mentioned, u cannot use the cmd.exe in win9x environment as cmd.exe is specific to windows NT, you can use the command.exe without any hitches.
for eg
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start command /K a.bat"); should run the batch file a.bat..
if the problem persists, try posting the snippet of code that you are using.

Format Command Hangs

Hi,
Other day, a guy was running the format command in SunOS 5.8 and he killed the process to end it. Now whenever you try to run format again, it hangs with the message "Searching for disk...". Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Is there a lock file somewhere that I can delete?
The system has 2 internal drives configured and a disk array connected to it that is not configured or partitioned.
Thanks

Check /var/adm/messages* for odd hardware errors, perhaps you could try and run devfsadm -C to clear out any devices that isn't there..
You could also try and truss the format process to determine where it hangs.

How to run multiple DOS commands from a single Webutil Client_Host session?

Hello all,
I have a requirement where I need to create an interface with SVN from Forms for basic checkin-checkout of files.
So, I've been trying to use webutil client_host to open a command line session and issue svn commands.
For svn, sometimes I need to give multiple commands like change to a particular directory and then run an svn command.
But client_host takes in only one command at a time and I'm unable to issue a series of DOS commands to perform
a particular task.
Is there a way to do this?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

First your original question... You can put more than one DOS command on a single line, simply separate each command with an ampersand (&). For example:
mkdir c:\abc & cd abc & dir*
Regarding your concerns about performance, well that would depend on exactly what you mean. Using CLIENT_HOST (or HOST on the server) simply opens a shell (DOS in this case) then passes your command to it. The performance of performing this action really isn't measurable. Basically you are just pressing a button and you should get a near immediate action. As for the performance of executing each command, that has nothing to do with Forms. Once the command is passed to the shell, the rest is a function of the shell and whatever command you passed.
Having said that, if you were to write something sloppy like a loop (in pl/sql) which called CLIENT_HOST lots of times repeatedly, then yes there would be a performance problem because the pushing of the button will cause an exchange to and from the server and each cycle in the loop will do the same.
So the answer to how performance is impacted will depend on what exactly you need to accomplish. If it is a single call to CLIENT_HOST, this should be fine.

How to Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing SAP PI

Hi,
We are trying to execute multiple commands via "Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing".
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands get executed fine.
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
/this works fine/
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands, none of the commands get executed.
eg:
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
or
wc -l %F > /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Is it possible to execute multiple commands or redirect the output of commands without using a shell script? The PI server we are working on iis hosted on UNIX environment.

Hi Harleen,
try like this
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
instead of semicolon try this
(1) &
command1 & command2
Execute Command1 and then execute Command2
(2) &&
command1 && command2
Runs the command2 only when command1 doesn't Complete successfully
(3) ||
command1 || command2
Runs the second command if the first command had an error
(4) ()
(command1 || command2) || (command3 & command4)
Defines the order in which commands are to be executed

Can Automator run a workflow on many folders, one at a time?

Hello,
In a parent folder, I have a bunch of subfolders with image files (BMP, JPG or PNG).
I want each of these subfolders to become a PDF combining the original image files.
I also want the resulting PDFs to be named as the original subfolder.
Is there a way to do it with Automator, or do I have to dive into Applescript (I am totally new to both)?
In Automator, the following 3-step workflow does almost what I want:
#1 - Ask for Finder Items (I provide the parent folder)
#2 - Get folder contents
#3 - New PDF from images
However, I get only one huge PDF combining the contents of all subfolders (I need one PDF per subfolder) and I must give for step #3 a specific file name (I need the filename to be that of the containing folder).
Am I on the right path? I tried using the 'Loop' action and the 'Path' variable but I didn't progress.
More generally, can Automator run a workflow on a bunch of folders one folder at a time, or is that a job for Applescript?
Thank you very much for you help.
W.

Unfortunately, the text field in the *New PDF from Images* action doesn't support variables, and the *Rename Finder Items* action doesn't either (I wish Apple would get on the stick with updating their actions). There is this macosxhints article about hacking the workflow plist, but that doesn't always work.
I have a couple of actions that could be used - the Get Names of Finder Items action can be used to get the folder name (to put into a variable), and the Change Name of Finder Items action does accept variables to change the name.

How will i specify the file name in the above syntax as the file name is Dynamic and not constatnt.
Please Advice.

Run operating system command for sender File adpter (NFS)

Hi All,
iam doing a file to RFC scenario, using 'Run operating system command' in sender file adapter to change the file name while archiving (after processing completed).
I mention OS command like this:
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
Rename.bat file calls a 'perl script' code.
when i run interface, could see below statement in adapter log ->
"Execute OS command "
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
but the script was not run and file name was not changed.
Please advice what could be the problem?
Does this mean script executed successfully?
Do i need install perl software on XI server, even perl script (.bat file) is executing on sample_server?
Thanks in advance..

RUN OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND BEFORE MESSAGE PROCESSING

hi.
just i want to know what is the purpose of run operating system command before message processing,after message processing under file sender adapter.
waiting for your great answer.
bye.
regards.
seeta ram.

Hello Seeta,
let me see if I give it using a simple scenario that I implamented : i nedd to transfer a very large file from one server to the other by XI.
to save space and network traffic I use an OS command before picking up the file to run a zip command to zip the file.
after I transfer the file to the target server I run another OS command after the transfer to unzip the file.
now to your second question:
the before Os command on the target server is used mostly for checks (make sure there isn't a file by that name or backing up existing data)
and the after sender OS command is usualy for backing up or erasing existing files (cause it is done only after the first part was finished succesfully).

there was a blog obout this titled "XI as a huge file mover"

And by the way, in your comments, you mention that in one case, a new process is created. Actually, new processes are created each time you call Runtime.exec.
Anyway, if you want the output from the processes, you read it using getInputStream from the Process class. In fact, you really should read that stream anyway (read that URL I sent you to find out why).
If you want to print that output to the screen, then do so as you'd print anything to the screen.
in notepad HelloWorld.java, I can see it is opened,
but in Java, not.I have no idea what you're saying here. It's not relevant whether a source code file is opened in Notepad, when running a program.
