How to execute system command from java program

Hi all,
I want to change directory path and then execute bash and other unix commands from a java program. When I execute them separately, it's working. Even in different try-catch block it's working but when I try to incorporate both of them in same try-catch block, I am not able to execute the commands. The change directory command works but it won't show me the effects of the bash and other commands.
Suggestions??

The code I am using is....
try
String str="cd D:\\Test";
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c cd
"+str);your str string is already having cd in it but again you ar giving cd as part of this command also please check this,i will suggest you to remove cd from str
Process p1=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c mkdir
"+str+"\\test_folder");you should say mkdir once you change your path,but here you are saying mkdir first and then cd D:\Test(this is because of str)..please check this
Process p2=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c bash");
Process p3=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c echo
himanshu>name.txt");
catch(IOException e)
System.err.println("Error on exec() method");
e.printStackTrace();

Are you using a webserver? If so, you could make your operating system script into a CGI program, then execute it from pl/sql using utl_http.request.

}Help please.

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.
Thanks,

System command from within PL/SQL on server ?

Hi
I know its a bit weird thought of executing an NT system command from within PL/SQL on server (UNIX).
Has anyone done something (silly me!) like it or knows any work-around to try something like it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pravesh

Can you be more specific?
Generally to run system commands you utilize DBMS_PIPE to communicate with a listener on the platform that you're accessing. That listener picks up the pipe request and might either:
1. spawn a process to run the command
2. fork a process to run the command
3. run the command within its own application.
It sounds complex, but if review the DBMS_PIPE documentation and it's not too difficult -- presuming you know a language like C.
I believe there are other features in 8.1.5 and higher versions that enable you to run stored programs or COM objects...

Calling Operating System Commands from PL/SQL using java

dbms_java.grant_permission('
abcd', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission','<<ALL FILES>>', 'execute');
again
get
can't exec: /tmp/sri/GROUP_ho.sh lacks user privilege
same error;

Process management at the OS level should prevent execution continuing in the calling code until the command has completed (either successfully or with error).
If the low level java code were to spawn child process threads then execution could continue, but I'm guessing the Java function your talking about doesn't do that and just calls the operating system to execute the command and waits for the returning code to come back.

Pda execute other exe from Labview

I'm looking for ways to execute an exe from Labview PDA that is stored on the PDA (another PDA application)... I'm running WM5.0 ... .any ideas ...
Greycat

Hey Greycat.
That is a great question! So as you noticed there is no equivalent to System Exec in LabVIEW PDA, so you cannot launch an application that way. I would think that there would be a DLL that could be called on the PDA that will allow you to launch applications. However, after several Google searches I was not able to come up with any specific code or DLLs. Once you found that DLL hoewever, you shouldn't have problems launch an EXE. I am assuming that these are not other LabVIEW PDA built EXEs, which is a shame since you might be able to open a VI reference to that VI.

How to execute unix command from ODI Procedure

Hi,
I am trying to execute below unix command from ODI Procedure (Command on Target tab) but I am getting the error "java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "cd": error=2, No such file or directory" but when I try to execute the same command using OdiOSCommand, it is executing successfully. I don't want to use shell script to execute this command. Is there any specific syntax am I missing to execute this command from ODI procedure?
cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst
Please help me on this...
Thanks
MT

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.
any thoughts appreciated to get a solution for this issue.
Thanks
MT

Executing OS command from within PL/SQL...

Hi
I would like to know if you can issue operating system command
from within a PL/SQL block on Oracle Database(not developer
2k) .Is there any built in package for the same ? Like a similar
command is available in forms i.e HOST .
Can anyone help please ?
Thank You
Cheers

The only documentation I have seen uses dbms_pipe which
communicates with a host 3gl program, usually C, which in turn
issues a call to the c function system(). You could also mimic
these same actions without using dbms_pipe by using a extproc
program linked to the database if you are running db version 8.0
or above. See the pl/sql procedure manual for dbms_pipe examples.

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) {...
