  • Execute a DOS command in java

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to execute a DOS command in java? If so, how do I do that?
    Also, if it is a Linux machine, may I execute a Linux command in java?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Bernard

    First, define 'command'.
    You can run external programs with Runtime.exec (eg. Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad");) but there are a few drawbacks regarding that method.

  • How to execute Linux command from Java app.

    Hi all,
    Could anyone show me how to execute Linux command from Java app. For example, I have the need to execute the "ls" command from my Java app (which is running on the Linux machine), how should I write the codes?
    Thanks a lot,

    You can use "built-in" shell commands, you just need to invoke the shell and tell it to run the command. See the -c switch in the man page for your shell. But, "ls" isn't built-in anyays.
    If you use exec, you will want to set the directory with the dir argument to exec, or add it to the command or cmdarray. See the API for the variants of java.lang.Runtime.exec(). (If you're invoking it repeatedly, you can most likely modify a cmdarray more efficiently than having exec() decompose your command).
    You will also definitely want to save the returned Process and read the output from it (possibly stderr too and get an exit status). See API for java.lang.Process. Here's an example
    java.io.BufferedReader br =
    new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("/sbin/ifconfig ppp0").
    getInputStream()));
    while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {...

    Your code is probably good to run a program, that does not use terminal capabilities.
    Program "top" is a little bit more complicated - you have to run it with a real terminal.
    Try to run "xterm -e top". You can find an example how to run an external program
    from java code in cnd/gdb module on http://cnd.netbeans.org
    For example, take a look at openExternalProgramIOWindow() method on this page:
    http://cnd.netbeans.org/source/browse/cnd/gdb/src/org/netbeans/modules/cnd/debugger/gdb/proxy/Attic/GdbProxyCL.java?rev=1.1.2.6.2.5&only_with_tag=release551_fixes&view=markup
    It runs a command with external terminal.

  • Executing a linux command through flash lite

    Hello All,
    i want to know one thing.. : is it possible to execute a linux command through flash lite?
    I mean, say, in linux at the command prompt if i want to change the date and time then i will execute command date 082110452009.00 to set
    21 August 2009, 11:45:00 .. i want to do this through actionscript2.. first i wil provide a UI asking the user to set date, time, year.. once he clicks OK i want to execute the above command with the user input..
    This is because currently i m running this application on an embedded linux device which doesn't have a real time clock.. i mean once i switch off and ON the device the date and time will set back to default value 01 Jan 1970 as it happens in linux..
    any suggestions?

    get the the inputStream of the runtime object after executing the command.
    now use the readLine() function until it becomes null.
    egs: with reference to ur code.
    InputStream is=p.getInputStream()
    while(is!=null)
    String s=is.readLine();
    if the command don't execute try giving the full path also like /sbin/ls -l

  • How to create an executable File (Linux-Script) in Java

    Hello,

    This script should be executed by hand on my linux system. Therefor the execute flag must be set. But how can I set this flag without executing the "chmod"-command?

    I don't think there is. But you can use Runtime.exec() to execute a chmod command.

  • Linux commands from java

    hi all,
    i ve to exectue linux commands in background from within the jsp /servlet/Ejb .what code lines should i write or any other procedure to execute those.
    i know u guys must ve done this before.
    tc

    If you was writing a standa alone Java application that runs top of J2SE, then you could use java.lang.Runtime.exec() apis to call an operating system command. But since you are writing a J2EE component, as per J2EE standard, you don't have the privileges to call Runtime.exec() api because that can lead to security hole. See section #6.2.3 of J2EE 1.4 platform spec (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html#platformspec) for more details about security permission set available to a J2EE component.

  • How to execute a Unix Command in java

    Hi, Iam trying to execute a unix command on Sun Solaris by passing that command to a java program. How can I achieve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Have a look at the javadoc around the Runtime.exec() method. If the command is a shell command then you might have to execute a shell as well as the command.
    For example, if you wanted to run a unix command 'ls -l > output.txt' the you might have to pass the following string into the exec() method,
    "/bin/sh ls -l > output.txt'
