Execute DOS command from java application

Hello,
I want to execute a DOS command (MOVE, in order to move an image from a folder to an other) from a java application. How can I do this?
Francesco

Yes I have tested it and it is working but only when executing a bacth file. For instance:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
try{
Process proc = rt.exec("move.bat");
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}and the command in move.bat is:
move c:\\temp\\*.gif C:\\temp2
You don't have to use double slashes in batch files, only in Java. But anyway it is working both ways.
It is not working when you try to execute the command without the batch file:
Process proc = rt.exec("move c:\\temp\\*.gif C:\\temp2"); -> this will not work.
It should work. Try to execute another command to see what happens.

How to execute external command from SAP

Hi gurus,
i need to execute an external command from a Sap (rel ECC.5.0) to a server UNIX (no SAP); precisely i have to write a file into a directory in unix server.
I see transaction SM49 and Sm69 but i don't know how can i use these features.
Please coul'd you help me or give me a documentation.
Thank's in advance
Maurizio Ortolani
email. [email protected]

Hi Maurizio,
i do it in this way:
CONSTANTS: CMD_LS(50)   VALUE 'ls -al /transfer/sap'.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB_LS OCCURS 0,
          LINE(200),
        END   OF ITAB_LS.
CALL 'SYSTEM'
    ID 'COMMAND' FIELD CMD_LS
    ID 'TAB'     FIELD ITAB_LS-SYS.
How do you write the file, via an UNIX-COMMAND than try the above call
with your command.
Another way is to write the file via OPEN DATASET ..., TRANSFER ... TO ..., CLOSE DATASET.
If you mean this i can give you an example.
Hope it helps.

Problem in executing dos command from runtime.exec(String command);

Hi
i have wriiten a code for running command of DOS-Promt
try
     rnt1 = Runtime.getRuntime();
                              proc1= rnt1.exec("myb");//myb is a batch file      and proc1 is process class instance
                                                            try
                              proc1.waitFor();
                              catch (InterruptedException e)
                         System.out.println("InterruptedException raised: "+e.getMessage());
               catch (IOException ioe)
          System.out.println("IOException raised: "+ioe.getMessage());
But it is giving error while running:
this is showing as an IO exception
CreateProcess: myb error=0
Please help me how to proceed
Thanks

There are 2 possible reasons (perhaps concurrent):
1. The file to be executed is not in the same path of your application, and you MUST specify its whole absolute path as exec() argument;
2. The file to be execute is really (as you call it) a DOS batch file, and then it HAS TO BE NAMED (and called) myb.BAT or (under NT/2000) myb.CMD; WinDOS is Not Unix (WNU): extensions rule!!!

Executing DOS command from within java.

I have an XML file and an XSLT stylesheet.
I want to process this XML file using XSLT stylesheet from java. Using saxon.
Here is the java class I wrote --
class DOSCommand {
public void exec_command(String[] cmd) {
try {
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
} catch (IOException e){
System.out.println("Error");
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
finally{
System.out.println("Finally");
In my servlet class I am instantiating the DOSCommand object and calling the method
DOSCommand d = new DOSCommand();
String[] c = { "c:\\Program Files\\saxon\\saxon.exe", "-o",
"PO.html", "ePO.xml", "POE.xsl"
d.exec_command(c);
But I am not getting results. It does not give any error. But does not process the XML file and the Date/timestamp of PO.html does not change.
I know that Definition/Creation of DOSCommand object is not necesssary here. But we can disregard it.
Please let me know where I am going wrong !
Avinash.

Probably where you are going wrong is in failing to specify your working directory, so your command can't find "PO.html" and so on in the default working directory for that command. But that's not really the answer. The answer is not to do it in that way in the first place. Saxon has a Java API and its documentation has a section entitled "Embedding Saxon in an application".

Execute DOS command from Java Code

Hi All
I am developing a Java application where I am launching some external Windows application on click event of a button.
I am able to launch that application, but now I have to keep a check that if once that application is launched on clicking the button, then next time it should not launch. But if user exits that external application, then on clicking the button that application should be launched. I tried several ways but i am not able to keep track of that process which makes that application run. The major problem is that when that application is being launched and running, i don't have anything to read or write to that process's Input Stream or Output Stream. Can any one help me out in this????

ApratimSharma wrote:
You Might not get anything in the inputstream.read but when the external application will exit you will definitely get EOF (int -1). However Important thing here is that inputstream.read is a blocking call so better do it in a separate thread.
          Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
          try {
               Process process = runtime.exec("calc");
               InputStream inputStream = process.getInputStream();
               if (inputStream != null) {
                    System.out.println("Running");
               while (inputStream.read() != -1);
               System.out.println("Exited");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }Now that is what I call 'stating the obvious' !

Execute DOS command in current window!

All:
Here is my code :
import java.io.*;
public class BuildScript {
public static void main ( String[] args ) {
String[] command = {"C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe", "cls"};
try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec ( command );
process.waitFor();
} catch ( InterruptedException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
} catch ( IOException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
System.out.println ( "DONE!" );
I just want to exeute some simple DOS command from Java application. And then I run this code, it hangs there for ever. I comments out "process.waitFor()", then it print out the "DONE" however it seems that it just open another console and clear that one and exit. For the main console I start my code, nothing happened.
Can anyone help me out how to execute the dos command in current console window.
Thanks

The best way to clear the screen is to print a few hundred newlines.

DOS command from java applet

Hi, I need to perform a DOS command from Java (using WFC if needed)...
I have no idea, so please help!
Thank you.

OH OH OH WAIT! It is an Applet! i think there will be some security issues here! Sure enough you can't execute commands on the system from an applet unless you make some changes on the java.policy files on the client machine (that means, if your applet is in a web page, every machine which view your page).

Runnig DOS commands from the java code?

Hi reader,
how can I execute DOS commands (I am on an Windows XP Machine) from my java code and also capture the output?
I think the
runtime.exec(command)
only executes win32 processes.
Please suggest
TIA
Ayusman

Again, this link should tell you most of what you need to know:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
You're not limited to the Win32 platform unless you're using specific DOS commands. Perhaps if you're just after file system information then some of the classes in the java.io package can help.
If it's not enough, perhaps a resource bundle or something similar can provide you with the names of the external programs you need to run, i.e. "dir" for win and "ls" for *nix.

How to execute dos command in Java program?

In Perl, it has System(command) to call dos command.
Does java have this thing?
or any other way to execute dos command in java program?
Because i must call javacto compile a file when the user inputed a java file name.

Look in the Runtime class, it is implemented using the Singleton design pattern so you have to use the static method getRuntime to get its only instance, on that instance you can invoke methods like
exec(String command) that will execute that command in a dos shell.

Gerrit.

How to execute unix command from ODI Procedure

Hi nahlikh,
Thank you for the reply.
I used below command in Procedure but still getting the same error as "java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "OdiOSCommand": error=2, No such file or directory".
OdiOSCommand "-COMMAND=cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst"
as I mentioned earlier if I use the command cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst in OdiOSCommand tool it is executing successfully without any issues.
