Displaying an alert (Applescript or otherwise) from shell script?

I have a point in a shell script where I'd like to put up an alert dialogue on a particular error condition. The script runs in the background and doesn't have a terminal window. I tried writing a little applescript that uses the applescript alert command and call it using osascript from my shell script, but it doesn't work. If I enter "osascript ~/myscript.scpt" in a terminal window, I get the error message "/Users/Ted/myscript.scpt: execution error:No user interaction allowed. (-1713)" (If I run myscript.scpt from the script editor it does what I want it to do.) Any ideas? I suppose I could have my shell script create a file in some folder and have my applescript be triggered as a folder action, but that seems pretty roundabout!

Thanks -- I apologize for not doing a more thorough search! Yes, that comes very close to addressing my need, but I have run into one difficulty. If I run my shell script from the terminal (pasting it in) everything works fine. If I run it as a packaged app (with Platypus) everything works like it's supposed to, except that the alert applescript (it's just a one line script) briefly flashes the alert dialogue when it's supposed to and then dies, rather than waiting 10 seconds or until I click OK. I'll have to experiment and see if I can tell what's going on.

Problem while calling concsub from shell script

Hi All,
I am facing problem when I am trying to run CONCSUB utility from shell script.The same works well when I try it from command line.The only prob I am facing from shell script is assigning values to temporary variables.
This is how my script looks
#!/bin/bash
export PARM5="$5"
export PARM6="$6"
export PARM7="$7"
echo "INTPARM5=\"$PARM5\""
echo "INTPARM6=\"$PARM6\""
echo "INTPARM7=\"$PARM7\""
echo $FND_TOP/bin/CONCSUB $1 ONT 'Order Management Super User, Vision Operations (USA)' $3 WAIT=Y CONCURRENT ONT $PROGRAM "$INTPARM5" "$INTPARM6" "$INTPARM7"When I try to run the above shell based concurrent program it doesn't pass the parameters as expected and it errors out saying "Wrong number of arguments to call the procedure"
I tried my luck from some of the previous posts ({thread:id=2360776} ),but to vain
If anyone has any ideas,please suggest!!
Thanks in advance!!

Passing parameters from shell script to OWB process flow

Hi all,
I am running OWB process flow (using the template script provided by oracle) and i want to pass two date parameters as shown below:
sqlplus -s $SQL_USER/$SQL_PWD@$ORACLE_SID @$HOME_DIR/src/vmc_oem_exec_script.sql OWB_OWNER VMC_POST_DW_PF_LOC_SIT PROCESS VMC_NM1_PORT_MAIN "," "P_DATE_FROM=$DATE_FROM,P_DATE_TO=$DATE_TO"
How do i catch those values in process flow and pass those to mappings in Process flow?
Do i need to create PF variables with same names or any name will do?
Thanks in advance

This document is explaining how to pass data between activities in process flow.
I am passing parameters from a shell script.
Any ideas,how to pass parameters from shell script and then initialize the process flow variables based on those values and then pass them further to mappings.
Thanks

Urgent Problem in Executing perl script from shell script

Hello,
I've a shell script on one server (source) and a perl script on another (target).
My perl script will check whether the directoryname, filename provided by shell script exists on the target server or not.
My shell script is as follows:
#! bin/bash
cmd=`ssh user@target "perl /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl"`
echo $cmd
And my perl script uses a package CU_Functions.pm, which is in the same directory as the perl script on the target server.
But when I invoke the perl script from shell script, I get the following error:
Source:user> (db:ias10g12_mid_db) /home/user/perl
$ sh /home/user/arcs/arcs_conn.sh
user@target's password:
Can't locate CU_Functions.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl .) at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
Please let me know if I need to do any configurations prior to call the perl script.

As for the Perl INC, I cannot recall the environment variable that sets that but the following example should work:
ssh user@host "export ENV_VAR=/path/to/include/files:$ENV_VAR ; /full/path/to/script"

Exports (from shell script) without password given explicitly in script

Hi All,
I have Oracle 10g2 on SLES 10 64-bit. I would like to do export the database using data pump from shell scripts. Is there any method to hide the password in the script file.
Currently in doing by command:
expdp system/password@database ....
So any user who see the script will know the passowrd.
Regards
Groxy

Hi,
Have you considered the "Secure External Password Store" feature that was added in 10gR2? It uses the Oracle Wallet to store a database_alias with username/password credentials in encrypted format. Then you can enter your expdp command like this:
expdp /@database_alias ...
Take a look at the 10gR2 Security Guide. There's a chapter there on how to set this up.

How do I start Firefox in Debian 5 directly from shell script without a dialog asking what to do?

Running Debian 5.04. I downloaded the tarball from Mozilla website and extracted the files to my home directory. When I double-click on the Firefox start-up shell script, I get a dialog window asking if I want to run ina terminal window, display the shell's contents or run the program. Choosing "Run" starts Firefox successfully, but I'd like to by-pass the dialog and just have Firefox start. How to do this? TIA
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I unpacked the tarball to my home directory. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/20080528 Epiphany/2.22

Right click on the desktop and choose 'Create Launcher'. There enter the details so start the program directly not via a script. This did the trick for me for another program.

Determining if network is up from shell script?

Is there a way using a shell script to tell if unix thinks the network is up? I have a 3rd party PCMCIA wifi card that takes a few seconds to reconnect to the network on wake or boot (utility needs to launch and synch get established) and I'd like to trigger a script once it has reconnected. (I have no way of asking the card itself -- the driver/utility isn't scriptable.) It's clear someplace in unix knows it's not up right away because the logs show a few "network not up" (or something like that) messages for awhile (DNSResponder I believe may have been associated with some of them) right after the wakeup is logged. The GUI network status for the port (whether that'd be knowable from the shell or applescript or not) doesn't reflect that the connection isn't up -- it shows green for the port right away, presumably because the card itself is responding.

while [ "`ifconfig | sed -n '/^'$1'/,/^[a-z]/ s/.*status: $.*$$/\1/p'`" != "active" ]
do
echo interface $1 is not up
sleep .5
done
echo interface $1 is now UP
</pre>
Save it as ifup, make it executable, and call it with the name of your interface:
ifup en1

Hello everyone,
Whenever i am using the previous script
because of <<! and !>> in the beginging and the end of oracle scrip. Shell is displaying the error 'newline or ;' unxexpeted and the error no is 48.
After that i used a different script like
DIRRUNNER=/oracle/tvg
count=0
while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
do
for x in `ls $DIRRUNNER/RUNNER_*.TXT`
do
count=`grep -c $x $DIRRUNNER/runner.log`
if [ $count -lt 1 ]
then
chstr=`echo $x|awk -F/ '{printf $NF }'`
dir=$DIRRUNNER
file=$chstr
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:.
export PATH

ORAENV_ASK=NO
. oraenv
ORAENV_ASK=YES
echo "exec runrace('$dir', '$file')" > runner.sql
sqlplus -s tvgus/tvgus@bbprod @runner.sql
echo $x >>$DIRRUNNER/runner.log
fi
done
count=0
sleep 2
done
The above one is working fine but after executing the procedure control is still remaing in the sqlplus environment, but i want the control back to my shell
Can anyone help to resolve this, its pretty urgent.
Thanks in Advance

Return info from shell script?

I know you can use app.system() in PS to execute a shell script. Is there a way to capture the information it's outputting?
For example:
var info = app.system('find /Users/ypml/Desktop -name \"*.jpg\"');
alert(info);
just returns '0', instead of the list of files that were found. Any ideas how to get that information?
thanks!

Use a redirect to save the output to a file. Then read the info from the file.

Error in calling SQL plus program with parameter from Shell script

timestam=`date +%y-%m-%d`
sqlplus -s $CONN_STRING @ar_statement.sql $REQ_DATE
chmod 755 statement.sh

My Sql plus program is like this.
set pagesize 0
set heading off
set feedback off
spool $GEC_TOP/log/ge_ar_statement.sh
select output_file_name
from fnd_concurrent_requests
where trunc(actual_completion_date) = '&2';

Can you put your coding between code statements, like shown in the FAQ. It will be easier to read.
Looking at your script, my first guess is that crontab will not find your sqlplus since your script does not have $HOME/bin in the $PATH. From what I understand, running .profile in your script will not work either because variables are exported to sub-shells, not to the shell above. You can call your script with a dot like . ./script which means that the script will run like it was typed at the command prompt. But it will be less confusing to define appropriate variables in the script. eg.
ORACLE_SID=my_instance_name
ORACLE_HOME=/my_path_to_oracle_home_directory
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
I remember some slightly different way of coding to handle the sqlplus return codes.
For instance:
sqlplus -s /nolog > /dev/null <<-EOF
connect system/manager
@ssm.sql
whenever oserror exit failure
whenever sqlerror exit failure
EOF
sql_err=$?
if [ $sql_err -ne 0 ]; then
echo "FAILURE"
else
echo "SUCCESS"
fiThe - in -EOF supresses tab's
Using connect will prevent ps from showing your login credentials
In some versions of bash the ending EOF needs to be at the beginning of the line to work.

complaining about putting code between code delimiters and forgot myself ;-)
Edited by: waldorfm on Jul 14, 2010 7:08 PM
Btw, if you "source" a script running it like . .script, than an exit in that script will log you out.

Pass in date from shell script to java program

Hi,
I need to pass in some parameter to my java program.
eg 'java SomeProgram yyyy mm dd hh mm ss'
How do i use the shell script to generate the valeus for the year, mth day etc?
The program is running once everyday.
I tried $argu0 = `date+%y`
java SomeProgram $argu0
but not working... thanks for your help!

Then, why would you want to use 'date' to provide
'now' to a Java program when you could just use new
java.util.Date() which probably makes the same call
as the Unix 'date' command?That works until you need to use a date other than 'now.'
    public static final String ISO_DATE = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = (SimpleDateFormat) SimpleDateFormat
                .getDateTimeInstance();
        sdf.applyPattern(ISO_DATE);
        try {
            Date d = sdf.parse(args[0]);
            // rest of code here
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            // handle exception
    }Users will have to enclose there input with quotes otherwise the JVM will consider their input as two parameters, or you can change the pattern to include a character between dd and HH.
