error executing perl /home/deaddev/test1.pl

As and alternative you can useString cmd123 = "perl /home/deaddev/test1.pl";Using the single string approach YOU have to do any quoting so with this line no quoting takes place and the script /home/deaddev/test1.pl will be executed.Although that should be true apparently it isn't. I have just run
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("perl /home/sabre/work/dev/perl/xxx.pl");
new Thread(new SyncPipe(p.getErrorStream(), System.err)).start();
new SyncPipe(p.getInputStream(), System.out).run();
int returnCode = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("Return code = " + returnCode);which correctly executes the perl script xxx.pl.
P.S. SyncPipe is a Runnable that copies an InputStream to an OutputStream.

Interesting! Even though Runtime.exec() works with a single String, ProcessBuilder fails with this approach! You have to split the argument string. This certainly looks like a bug! Some while ago I looked at the source for Runtime.exec() to look at the differences between Runtime.exec() and ProcessBuilder and found that behind the scenes Runtime.exec() uses ProcessBuilder.
More research is required.

I am facing a problem in running a PERL script in JAVA in UNIX box..
I am able to call ther perlscript.
Perl script has
#! /usr/local/bin/perl

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec("perl "+perlfile);
Here is the problem tat IT IS says error =2 ..What has to be the solution so tat i can CALL PERL SCRIPT as similiar to running it separatly in prompt { >perl test.pl }

LINE 2 : print "\nEnter Your Name :"; .
LINE 3 : $name = <>;
LINE 4 : print "\nYour Name is : $name\n";

Calling PERL script from scheduler

Hello All,
I am trying to call PERL script from dbms_scheduler which makes the database connection using DBD module to read some values to perform the operation. My scheduler job kept failing with the following error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
STANDARD_ERROR="install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file
It can't open libclntsh.so.10.1 file when I run the job, I guess because in job session, it creates a new shell and doesn't inherit the .profile and none of the environmental variables get set. When I run the PERL script manually it works because of all the env variables, so I put all those variables from my .profile into PERL script itself using ENV function but it still doesn't work, failed with very same error. And yes I do set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory. Moreover, if I run the PERL script manually from a shell where I dont inherit .profile, it fails with very same error, so it is related to the environment issues but I have no idea how to fix it. I read somewhere the setting those env variable in PERL script itself doesn't help because by the time PERL get executed all the compilers are already initialized and and they don't use those environement variables anymore then. So the question is how to make it work?
I would really appreciate if someone can help me fixing this, it's gonna change my life here :)
DB Version: 10.2.0.2 (also tested on 11R2, same problem)
OS: SUSE Linux 64 bit
And here is my libclntsh file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib

How to run the perl script from java ?

Hi , I need to run the pearl script from the server and to get the result of the script thro' java using SSH
Is there any 3rd party SSH API in java ?
Please help me out
thanks in advance

This seems like a very strange thing to want to do.
What is the perl script doing?
Do other programs (not some shell script) access this server-side perl script from a different machine?
If so how do they do it?
What currently triggers the perl script to execute?
What currently handles the output from the perl script?
If you can answer these questions (and understand the answers) you should be able to come up with a different approach to this.
You do not really want to call a remote perl script from a Java program, you want to achieve the effect you think that would have if you could do it.
So find the answers to the above questions, write them on 3" x 5" cards and lay them out on your desk.
What flow of control needs to happen? Which piece of code needs to produce or consume which piece of data?
If that fails, ask you self or who ever is making you do this what are the use-cases?
If you do not know what use-cases are or do not understand them well enough try reading
Use Case Modeling (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) by Kurt Bittner and Ian Spence (Paperback - Aug 30, 2002)
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-7908514-4043267?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=use+cases&x=0&y=0
It is a short and easy to read book on the subject and also one of the best.
You MUST understand WHAT you are trying to achieve before you can decide HOW you are going to achieve it.

Calling perl script from labview

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply from everyone.
The attached is my code to call Perl script and after calling this, I need to query the Perl Script by sending command like @help. Do they have a way to query the Perl script by sending command like @help and get the return result.
I think Joseph you are right, but how do I get the return result if I invoke it in a separate dos session.

Are you able to run that perl script at DOS command line?
Did you call the perl script directly from the java proc or you put the perl command line in a DOS .BAT scirpt and called that from the java proc?

How to call PERL Scripts from JavaFX?

Hi to all,
Does any one knows how to call a perl script with or without parameters from JavaFX?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards.

If I need to pass some parameters to the perl script, how I do so?
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(['cmd', '/c', 'start', "c:\\helloperl.pl"]);
What's 'cmd', '/c', 'start'
The cmd stands for command prompt from xp and prior and /c is stands for the command to be passed to command promt.
I don't have good experience of perl but if it's like java then you can pass the parameter like this
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(['cmd', '/c', 'start', "c:\\helloperl.pl param1 param2"]); Thanks,
narayan

Calling perl script from SAP system

Hi all,
I would like to call script from a SAP system. How many ways I can do that. Please guide me.
Thanks!

In transaction SM69, you can define an external command. This command can be a perl script, or anything else executable at the OS level. Once defined, you can execute it with transaction SM49, or by defining a step in a background job to execute an external command, or by calling function module SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM in an abap program.
Cheers,

Invoke perl script from JAVA 1.4.2

Hello All,

Has this been resolved?
I'm having an issue with it also, using the command line as such:
j2sdk-1_4_2_02-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v "/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=0 INSTALLDIR=D:\Progra~1\j2sdk-1_4_2_02 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 /L D:\temp\jvm142install.log"
I've also tried different variations of the commands in "", but still no luck.
From the command prompt it appears to hang, but comes back to the command prompt about 10 seconds later and nothing gets installed.
Previous to installing it from the command line, I had installed it manually, and ran add/remove programs to remove it from the system.
Is there something I should check in the registry that might be prevening the above command to run?
InstallSheild's web site was helpful, but gave command line options for the msiexec to run.
Any help would be appreciated!

Problem calling two perl modules from java in seperate threads(JVM CRASHES)

Dear Friends,
I have one severe problem regarding calling perl modules from java
I had to call two perl modules simultaneously (i.e.) from two threads,,, but jvm crashes when one of the perl calls is exiting earlier
I am unable to spot out why ....
For calling perl from java ...., We are first calling C code from java using JNI and then Perl code from C
All works fine if we call only one perl call at a time.... If we call them in a synchronized manner the JVM is not crashing .... But we don't want blocking..

Call a Perl Script from JSP

Hi guys,
I am developing an online ticket booking system.
i have come toa point where i need to call a perl script from JSP.
please let me know how to do it.
Basically, i need to call a function in perl script from JSP in order to encrypt my information.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Chintan Shah

I haven't done this myself, but it seems like it is possible in Tomcat.
You can configure Tomcat to handle .cgi calls (it does this via a CGI servlet)
http://www.ftponline.com/javapro/2003_03/online/perl_teden_03_18_03/
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/cgi-howto.html
Once this is set up, theoretically you should be able to then use requestdispatcher and forward/include a cgi script to invoke the perl.
I don't know if you are using Tomcat or not though... :-)
