Executing a batch file(.bat) from an AIR application

Is there a way by which we can exceute a dos batch file from an AIR 1.5 application?

I think your only option might Merapi, and that might only be for linking AIR and Java apps.

Executing a batch file (.bat) on a different PC

Hi,
Is it possible to execute a batch file on a different pc.
Look at the following piece of code.
import java.io.*;
public class StartRemoteCmd {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
          System.out.println("Starting remote Command");
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\\\\Itop001\\Tomcat\\commons-net-1.0.0\\setclasspath.bat");
          if (p==null){
          System.out.println("Process is null");
          System.exit(1);
          System.out.println("Started remote Command");
The machine ITOP001 has this setclasspath.bat...which sets classpath and has a java CustPgm.
I want to start this CustPgm program on ITOp001 from my machine.
Is it possible..? Am I doing some mistake in the code..pls suggest.
Thanks guys

Can't really add much to the online help:
The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at
a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use
the AT command.
AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]]
AT [\\computername] time [/INTERACTIVE]
    [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"
\\computername     Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the
                   local computer if this parameter is omitted.
id                 Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled
                   command.
/delete            Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the
                   scheduled commands on the computer are canceled.
/yes               Used with cancel all jobs command when no further
                   confirmation is desired.
time               Specifies the time when command is to run.
/interactive       Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user
                   who is logged on at the time the job runs.
/every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or
                   month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month
                   is assumed.
/next:date[,...]   Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the
                   day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, the
                   current day of the month is assumed.
"command"          Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.

How to run a batch file (.bat) from forms? WEBUTIL_HOST.NonBlocking?

I need to execute a batch file on the clients pc. Right now, I'm using:
WEBUTIL_HOST.NonBlocking('cmd.exe /c "' || :Test.Batch_File_Name || '"');
where the :Test.Batch_File_Name is something like C:\run.bat.
This works to some extent. When it runs, I see a blank cmd.exe window and when I check my processes, I can see that run.bat is running. However, I need to be able to see run.bat as it executes because it outputs messages to the screen. Is there a way to call client_host or webutil_host that will display the batch file screen?
Thanks

Hello,
With the Webutil Get_Standard_Output() , you can get the output strings and display them into your own Forms canvas ;o)

Execute java class from a batch file called from runtime.exec

Hi.
I don´t know if this question fits here.
I wan´t to execute a batch file (on Win XP) with runtime.exec. That batch file will execute another java program.
I have the following code:
Resolutor.java
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class Resolutor {
      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
          //String[] command = { "cmd.exe", "/C",".\\lanzar.bat .\\ .\\ 001.res:001.dtt" };
          String[] command = { "cmd.exe", "/C",".\\tarea\\lanzar.bat " + args[0] + " " + args[1] + " " + args[2]};
          try {
               //Process proceso = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("lanzar.bat");
               Process proceso = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
               InputStream stderr = proceso.getErrorStream();
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stderr);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
            String line = null;
            System.out.println("<ERROR>");
            while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
                System.out.println(line);
            System.out.println("</ERROR>");
               int exitVal = proceso.waitFor();
               System.out.println("EXITVAL: " + exitVal);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (InterruptedException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
}lanzar.bat
java Lanzador %1 %2 %3Lanzador.java
import java.util.Vector;
public class Lanzador {
      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          Repetitiva rpt=new Repetitiva();
          String rutaFicheros=args[0];
          String rutaResultado=args[1];
          String[] ficheros=args[2].split(":");
          Vector<String> ficheroDatos=new Vector<String>();
          for(int i=0;i<ficheros.length;i++){
               ficheroDatos.add(ficheros);
               System.out.println(ficheros[i]);
          System.out.println("RUTA DE FICHEROS: " + rutaFicheros);
          System.out.println("RUTA DE RESULTADOS: " + rutaResultado);
          System.out.println("CALCULAR");
          rpt.setRepetitiva(ficheroDatos, rutaFicheros, rutaResultado);
          rpt.calcular();
}I´ve got Resolutor.class in /res and the other two files (and the rest of the files for running) in /res/tarea.
If I execute /res/tarea/lanzar.bat from the command line everything works fine, it calls java and runs lanzador without problem.
The problem comes when I try to execute the batch file via Resolutor.class. It executes the batch file without problem, but it throws a *java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lanzador* when launching the new java application.
Any ideas of how can I solve that problem. (It must do it via batch file).

Well, I tried putting in the bat file java -classpath .\tarea Lanzador %1 %2 %3 and didn´t work.
I ve tried the bat modification, and the directory in x.txt is k:\res instead of k:\res\tarea.
I´ve tried to modifiy it to java .\tarea\Lanzador and didn´t work so I have put a cd like the following and it appears to work.
cd tarea
java Lanzador %1 %2 %3Thanks for the replies.

Java.io.filepermission error while executing a batch file from java prog

Hi,
i want run a java program which executes a batch file, both are in a jar file. while am trying this using webstart it shows error:access denied java.io.filepermission <<ALL FILES>>execute. why this happens how to rectify this.
By
Vinod

Clearly, it would be a security vulnerability to be able to do such a thing from the web w/o user granting trust to the application.
Java Web Start applications run in the Java SE secure sandbox unless they have been granted all-permissions by the user:
1.) sign all jar files.
2.) add <security><all-permissions/></security> to the jnlp file.
The user would then be prompted to grant trust to the applications.

Executing the batch file from SQL Server Agent job

Hi - I have a simple batch file (.bat) which connects the SFTP server and drop the files to location machine. When I run the .bat file manually its working fine but when I schedule it in SQL Agent its keep on running and never shows success message.
Could you please tell me how can i resolve it. Its very urgent for me.
thanks

If you trust this host, enter "y" to add the key to
PuTTY's cache and carry on connecting.
If you want to carry on connecting just once, without
adding the key to the cache, enter "n".
If you do not trust this host, press Return to abandon the
connection.
Store key in cache? (y/n) Remote working directory is /
When you connect via putty you get prompted to accept a key in interactive mode. At this point your batch file is waiting for someone to type in y or n.
Try running putty in batch mode to get around this.
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.52/htmldoc/Chapter6.html#6.1.8
6.1.8 -batch: avoid interactive prompts
If you use the -batch option, PSFTP will never give an interactive prompt while establishing the connection. If the server's host key
is invalid, for example (see section 2.2), then the connection will simply be abandoned instead of asking you what to do next.
This may help PSFTP's behaviour when it is used in automated scripts: using -batch, if something goes wrong at connection time, the batch
job will fail rather than hang.

Executing a batch file from a jsp

hi,
i have a jsp running on tomcat 3.1
now upon submit, i want a batch file to execute .
how do i do that..( i mean what will be the correct syntax for this ) say the batch file exists in /tomcat/batch/ do i have to give the abosolute path for this or a relative path will do.. ( if the relative path works then, do i have to mention a context for the batch directory in server.xml..
pls help.. this is urgent
thanx

Hi truptip,
This is the code to execute a batch file or any system command,
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shell command you want to exit");
p.waitFor();
In regards to whether you should access it using a relative location, the answer is no. Execution of a batch file is not part of the the webserver, so the webserver's concept of the current directory for the client does not apply.
On a side note I wanted to say that I would highly recommend that you don't put the batch files anywhere on the webserver that is accessible to the user, not that the webserver would execute the code, but it may let out some information that you don't want available.
Hope this is of some help,
James

Anyone can tell me why it doesnt work ?... Thanks

Aside from removing the "start" or adding the title ...
Does your batfile really say "SET PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HMOE%\bin"? If so, I rather expect you meant to say "JAVA_HOME" and not "JAVA_HMOE".
Also, I'd be cautious about those relative paths that you're passing in to the Java program. Of course I don't know what you're doing with those in the program, but if you try to just pass those paths to a File or InputStream constructor, they're going to be relative to the current directory. And if you execute a batfile using cmd from an exec that's within a JSP ... I'm not sure what your current directory would be when the bat runs. Maybe you've checked this out and it's the right place, but if not, perhaps you have a misconception there.

How to execute a batch file on different remote server using TFS Build

I have a build server and have 2 web servers. I am deploying using TFS Builds. Now, I have a requirement to execute a batch file which is kept on these 2 web servers. i.e. C:\MyBatch\CreateMe.bat
After my build is successful, I need to execute this batch from the build server.
Note, I cannot make any shared folder.

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS?
How do you deploy solution using TFS Build, run MSBuild deploy command or using Release Management?
That C:\MyBatch\CreateMe.bat file stay on your two web server machines separately?
If you want execute this bat file on your two web server machines separately using build process template, you need configure your web server machine as build agent, then add the InvokeProcess activity in build process template to run the bat file on build
agent machine after build, please refer to Hari’s answer reply in this post:

Let me guess, you want your web application to run a program on the client and to your surprise that's not working?
Ain't gonna happen.
its taking more time to execute .... that's y is there any other option to execute .exe file other than Runtime.getRuntime().exec("filename");Write proper English and you may be taken more seriously.
1) it's not "taking more time to execute", whatever that's supposed to mean.
2) there's no other way to execute something. Not that you should every use even that way anyway
3) whenever you start thinking of executing external programs from Java, start thinking of not using Java in the first place.

Running executable in batch file as administrator when UAC is high

Hi Team,
I have a requirement of running executable in batch file by passing the current windows login username as parameters. Below is the content of my batch file:
cmd /c start setup.exe http://testsite:7001/mobile %username% %username%
But, when the UAC is set high in windows 7 machine, this executable is not running properly, and giving me warnings. And, if I am running the same start command after opening command prompt as administrator, then executable is running smoothly.
So, is there any way I can run the executable as administrator by giving some options in batch file, when UAC is high?
I tried runas option, but its prompting for admin password, which we can't provide as users will not know.
Do we have some option in batch file as 'Run As Administrator' right click option, where it doesn't prompt for password but run the file with admin privilege?
Thanks,
Tina Soni

Hi,
When using Runas command, you can add a switch option /savecred
/savecred will make it ask for admin password on the first run only, after that it should be saved
