Error while executing unix shell script from java program

Hi All,
I am trying to execute unix shell script from a java program using Runtime.execute() method by passing script name and additional arguments.
Code snippet :
Java Class :
try{
     String fileName ="test.ksh";
     String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
     String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
     int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
     sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Test.ksh
export -- application realated paths..
nohup abc.exe 1> test.log 2>&1;
$1
exit.By running the above java class , i am getting exit Value: 139 and log file test.log of 0 bytes.
when i am running the same command (/usr/bin/ksh test.ksh satish) manually, it's calling abc.exe file successfully
and able generate the logs properly.
Pls let us know where exactly i am stuck..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Satish

Hi Sabre,
As per the guidelines provided by the article, i had done below changes..
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader iStreamReader = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
String line = null;
try{
String fileName ="test.ksh";
String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
is = proc.getErrorStream();
iStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
bReader = new BufferedReader(iStreamReader);
System.out.println("<ERROR>");
while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Error is : "+line);
System.out.println("</ERROR>");
int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Now , it's showing something like..
<ERROR>
</ERROR>

How to run unix shell script from java web applet

hi all
i have created one java applet. my apache web server is on unix server.
i have created one shell script in same directory where my .class and .htm files reside...
how to run this shell script from applet? it should search this .sh file on server and not on the client browser machine...
thanks in advance

I suppose you could make the shell script into a CGI, configure the server to execute CGIs, and then make the applet open the URL of that CGI.

Run Unix command / Run Unix shell script from Forms9i

Hi,
I have a requirement to run Unix command and Unix shell scripts from Forms9i.
I know HOST command cannot be used directly. I also know we can create some JAVA stored procedure to perform the task, but I don't want to create any JAVA stored procedure as there are some security concerns.
Please point me towards any other way to achieve the same.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kumar

There is no reason why HOST can't be used. This is what it is for. As for using Java, it is not a stored procedure that you would be using, it would be imported Java (imported into the form).
The best way to use the HOST command is to call a script (.sh) rather than calling a Unix command directly. This is because HOST will not pick up environment variables set at the system level. So the script would first need to set the necessary environment variables then call the desired commands.

How to pass arguments to a Unix shell script from PL/SQL?

We want to run a Linux shell script from PL/SQL (10g). This is our code to run the script only and it works fine.
dbms_scheduler.create_job
          job_name=>'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name,
          job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',
          job_action=>'/vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/spell_check.sh',
          enabled=>TRUE,
          auto_drop=>FALSE
        );Now we have a requirement to pass 2 arguments to the .sh file. In the .sh file the 2 arguments are defined as $1 and $2.
I used this method.
dbms_scheduler.create_job
          job_name=>'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name,
          job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',
          job_action=>'/vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/spell_check2.sh',
          --job_action=>'/vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/spell_check2.sh /vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/ebill2.fmt_form_strings_.txt /vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/abcdefghij.txt',
          --job_action=>'#!/bin/bash spell /vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/ebill2.fmt_form_strings_.txt > /vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/abcde.txt',
          number_of_arguments => 2,
          enabled=>FALSE,
          auto_drop=>FALSE,
          comments => 'Testing by Channa'
      DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE (
        job_name                => 'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name,
        argument_position           => 1,
        argument_value          => '/vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/ebill2.fmt_form_strings_.txt');
      DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE (
        job_name                => 'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name,
        argument_position       => 2,
        argument_value          => '/vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/abcdefghij.txt');
      DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable (name => 'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name);But I get an error saying:

It is possible, but it kinda defeats the purpose of shell scripts no?

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.

How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?

Hello Oracle People,
I'd like to run a shell script from the Scheduler in my 10g database.
Right now it is a simple shell script.
Eventually it will wrap RMAN commands to back up my DB.
I wrote a simple pl/sql script to create a job:
-- cr_job10.sql
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_backup_job',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/h/oracle/scripts/tst.sh',
start_date => '06-SEP-07 5.33.00PM US/Pacific',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
end_date => '08-SEP-07 4.00.00PM US/Pacific',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'My Backup Job');
END;
I see no errors when I run the above procedure.
I checked DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and the job is in there.
The scheduler, though, errors out with an error which I see in a trace file:

I googled on this:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
Google returned only 1 hit.
There, I see some evidence that I need to configure something inside
of Oracle to run shell scripts from the scheduler, but possibly just
for machines running windows. I'm running Solaris.
Do any of you know what I need to configure inside of Oracle to
run shell scripts from the scheduler?
-Owen

Hello people,
I should have added this bit of information:
"The script runs fine from oracle's crontab."
"The script runs fine from a shell owned by oracle."
I'm getting responses telling me to check my env variables and permissions
which would be helpful to a UNIX novice.
I have a feeling that no one is using the scheduler to run RMAN scripts.
Tim Hall suggested I take a close look at these files:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/extJob
Currently I'm setup like this:

$ rm /tmp/tst.sh.out.txt

I am focused on this error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
And I am focused on this exit code: 274662
What does 274662 mean?
If the Scheduler gives me an error like "274662" rather than some English,
it's obvious to me the Scheduler is a POS and I should not use it.
And of course,
If I cannot run RMAN from Oracle Scheduler, I'll use cron.

How to run a shell script from the GUI?

This is probably a dumb question...
How do I run a shell script from the GUI? I've been told to double click it but when I do, it opens as a text file.

The behavior you describe is that used by the KDE and GNOME desktops of Linux.
Under OS X, if you make a script then mark it as executable, double-clicking on it in the Finder will not execute it. Actually, it uses a rather complex algorithm ([summarized here|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/macos-qna/macos-x-qa-2.html]) to determine what to do with it. This is implemented in Mac OS X' LaunchServices framework (incidentally, the associations are cached in /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple/LaunchServices*.csstore). You can read the details in the developer docs about LaunchServices.
Anyway, in short, the suffix '.command' is a built-in type in the LaunchServices network that identifies a shell script. If you run
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -dump
... it will tell you as much.

Calling UNIX shell script from ODI package?

Hi,
How Can we call UNIX shell script from ODI package?
I have a ftp_ss.sh script which which ftps a file from remote server to local server, archives the last file and renames new file to the standard (ie file data store)name.
I want to run the above script and interfaces from a package.
Any help is greately appreciated.
Thanks,
RD

In the package window, put "OS Command" from the toolbox.
Provide the command parameters to this tool in form of "/path/to/script/ftp_ss.sh"

Can i call unix shell script from B2B callout.

Hi,
We had a requirement to invoke a unix shell script from B2B callout implemented class. Here is the code in implementation class:
public void execute(CalloutContext context,List input,List output)
throws CalloutDomainException, CalloutSystemException {
try {
CalloutMessage cmIn = (CalloutMessage)input.get(0);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
String inputFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/input/test.txt";
String outputFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/output/test.txt.gpg";
File outFile = new File(inputFile);
String str =cmIn.getBodyAsString();
fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos);
out.write(str);
out.close();
String shellFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/dg.sh";
String cmd[] = new String[] { shellFile, inputFile, outputFile };
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(cmd);
int i = pr.waitFor();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
CalloutMessage cmOut = new CalloutMessage(sb.toString());
output.add(cmOut);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new CalloutDomainException(e);
We were able to execute the unix shell script from standalone java class with same code. But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.
Is it possible to invoke unix shell script from B2B callout?
Please give inputs.
Regards,

Though it's not a good idea to invoke shell scripts from java callout but technically it will work.
But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.What is not working as expected? Any error in the log (server-diagnostic.log or server.out)?
