Executing a shell command within vi using aliases

The behavior of the ksh ENV environment variable has been changed in Solaris 10 and I assume it is related to the reason why I can no longer use aliases when using the "bang" (!) command execution in vi. For a very simple example, if ll were an alias for ls -lFbo entering this in vi:
   :!llwould produce the expected "ls -l" listing of the current directory in previous Solaris versions. Why does this not work in Solaris 10 and is there an alternate way to accomplish the same thing?

I don't know exactly but the code written below is working fine try the same with your code .Even with your code instead running the code with
" ./<filename> ",if you execute it with "sh <filename>" command without changing the mode of the file it is executing properly.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ScriptBuilder
public ScriptBuilder()
public void writeScript() throws java.io.IOException
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(new File("test_script"));
writer.write("#! /bin/sh\n");
writer.write("ll>/home/faiyaz/javaprac/checkll");
writer.flush();
writer.close();
Runtime rt= Runtime.getRuntime();
rt.exec("chmod 777 test_script");
rt.exec("./test_script");
} public static void main (String[] args)throws java.io.IOException
ScriptBuilder sb = new ScriptBuilder();
sb.writeScript();
}

  • How to Execute Power Shell Command From Windows Application.

    Hi All Experts,
    I want to execute power shell commands from my windows application.
    Is it possible ?
    Please let me know your comments..
    Thanks.

    I have not tried this, but apprently it is easy as in the sample pasted below. please see this article for more details
    http://geekswithblogs.net/Norgean/archive/2012/09/19/running-powershell-from-within-sharepoint.aspx.
    Let me know how it goes...
    public string RunPowershell(string powershellText, SPWeb web, string param1, string param2) {
    // Powershell ~= RunspaceFactory - i.e. Create a powershell context
    var runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
    var resultString = new StringBuilder();
    try
    // load the SharePoint snapin - Note: you cannot do this in the script itself (i.e. add-pssnapin etc does not work)
    PSSnapInException snapInError;
    runspace.RunspaceConfiguration.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell", out snapInError);
    runspace.Open();
    // set a web variable.
    runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("webContext", web);
    // and some user defined parameters

    runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("param2", param2);
    var pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
    pipeline.Commands.AddScript(powershellText);
    // add a "return" variable
    pipeline.Commands.Add("Out-String");
    // execute!
    var results = pipeline.Invoke();
    // convert the script result into a single string
    foreach (PSObject obj in results)
    resultString.AppendLine(obj.ToString());
    finally
    // close the runspace
    runspace.Close();
    // consider logging the result. Or something.
    return resultString.ToString();
    Ok. We've written some code. Let us test it.

  • How to execute a shell command?

    What class and method should I use to set an environment variable on a local system? And how do I execute a shell command in Java?
    Thanks!

    I don't know about setting environment variables from java, but I do know how to execute system commands (and from there you could modify environment variables).
    Use Runtime.getRuntime().exec()
    There are quite a few pitfalls with using this though...
    1. It's platform dependent
    2. Doing this creates a Process. If this process has output, you need to read this, otherwise the output buffer will overflow, and that would be bad... Input is not so bad (either supplying it or not ;)
    3. If you use Win for example, and want to do a "dir", there are complications, as there is no dir.exe file, and hence it can't be executed... Do a search for this topic, there's plenty on how to get around it.
    Anyway, there's plenty more info on Runtime.getRuntime().exec(), have a look around.
    Cheers,

  • Invoking shell command within XSLT?

    Is it possible to invoke shell commands within XSLT? Something like
    <code syntax="python">print(1+2)</code>
    and generate
    <code>3</code>
    or something like that? A newbee here ;-)
    Last edited by xanb (2014-07-11 12:27:20)

    I don't think xslt itself can call external interpreters.  Xslt can do the calculations and even conditionals, but if you want to use python, or other interpreters, you'd need some sort of "preprocessor" step.
    Depending on your actual goals, you may be interested in the various "literate programming" tools.  I don't know of one of the top of my head for having scripting languages embedded in an xml document, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were some.  Most of the ones I know are for embedding various code (C, R) in (La)Tex documents.  I use Sweave daily which is a latex document with R code that the R interpreter processes first to replace with the results, then the latex tools make the final document.
    EDIT: This may be of interest.

  • IS there an easy way to execute a shell command and capture its output...

    From an application? I am thinking of using fork and then waiting for the PID to finish and write the output to a file which I then read, but this seems clunky. Also there are big warnings about frameworks getting hosed if you use fork, although the "Forked" process will exec the shell command and the one that gets the PID the original process might be 'safe' from this framework corruption. I am not certain of this, it is just a guess.
    If there was something like a process class where I could specify the executable and parameters, and read from it's std out until the process completed, that would be better. Or even get a callback when the process exited and an asynchronous callback for each line of data it produced.

    That was just in response to OrangeKay implied accusation that I was some kind of hard-core Microsoft programmer that sneered at apple programmers.
    You may want to book mark this, I will go over a brief history which should clear a lot of things up, about me, and about what I am doing.
    Lets turn the clock back to 1998: I graduate from a university with a BS in Computer science. I had been interning at a local defense contractor writing missile testing software. This was on a proprietary hardware and so there was no "Microsoft" involved. At this point I think Bill Gates = Satan. Microsoft = Kingdom of Evil.
    I get a job as a video game programmer. I write code from the Playstation, then the Playstation 2 and Gamecube. I do this for several years and again I have zero interest / knowledge of the Microsoft world beyond it being the OS which I am forced to use to play my games on. I had fought this by trying to use OS Warp and other things, but eventually since I mainly had a PC for games I had to get a windows OS, the first being NT 3.51 and then Win98 cause NT4.0 didn't support past directx 3 and everyone was using directX 5 or 6 (I do not remember).
    As video game companies go, they do not last. Everyone wants to write video games, anyone with some cash wants to start a company. 1 in 1000 will make it 5 years. Needless to say, as our company began to tank, I got laid off, along with my entire team. I have cash in the bank, no big deal, right?
    Well the economy started to suck, video game developers were closing down like crazy so the market was saturated with x-video game developers. 2 Years go by, no job, and almost no money. Then I get a call from some guy who wants me to come for an interview about 75 miles away. It is in a place I do not want to go. So they interview me, and ask me a bunch of general programming questions.
    I leave the place, and by the time I get home there is a message on my machine asking me if I would take the job at a ridiculously high salary (I live in an area where the cost of living is very low). Well I am about out of money and its a job offer with a huge salary, so I take it.
    I get there and guess what? I get to work on this "agent" that runs on windows boxes. I have NO IDEA how to program on windows. Windows is evil, why would I want to taint myself with this vile Microsoft APIs? I really have no choice, I have to learn how to develop on windows. I get to use visual studio 6, which I do not understand because I used the Borland compilers (Borland != Microsoft).
    Well I start to slug through it all and get familiar with MSDN and CodeProject and CodeGuru. As the years pass, I begining applicate the examples and detailed documentation that MSDN has. I have a start page on MSDN which covers every category of operation which will take you through a tree of choices and lead you to the exact area related API calls you will need to use to do whatever you want. Now I do not think MS = Evil anymore. I switch to DevStudio 2005 which is really nice. The debugging, IDE, and everything is great.
    Now the other half of this application resides on a server. That server is a Linux box, and the server app is written in Java. My stuff is still C++.
    One day, I get a request, and a eMac with 10.4 PPC to make a Mac version. Now I am at the point of Mac programming as I was with Windows when I started. I didn't know anything about it. I was looking for CodeWarrior cause I used that in the past, but alas, CodeWarrior is no more. I get XCode. I see all sorts of options to make a project. BSD project, Carbon, Cocoa, etc... What the heck any of these. I can guess the BSD one is very basic, but I do not understand Carbon vs Cocoa.
    So what do I do? I make a basic carbon app and make a basic Cocoa app. The carbon app looks like some kind of C++ framework. The Cocoa app? "Is this another language like Java or C#? It doesn't look like a C++ language."
    Guess which choice I make. Carbon. I struggle through this looking at the docs, posting on CodeGuru and whatnot until someone finally tells me about these forums and warns me about how unfriendly people are. So I make an account and start asking questions. I eventually get my app to be multi-platform to run on windows and Mac by using some API abstractions which are easy to do since I had abstracted the Windows API by my own class wrappers.
    I ask a lot of questions, very few are ever answered because I am not asking about simple things, like making windows and how to get button clicks and that stuff. I am asking stuff like, "How do you change the DNS? or How do I know when a user is about to log out?" Currently on my side list as I type this, I have 27 unresolved questions. I probably found workaround for most of them, or figured it out eventually.
    On this forum mostly people are helpful when the do respond, except for OrangeKay. He definitely has a chip on his shoulder.
    Over the past few years my Opinion of MS has improved greatly while my opinion of Macs (from the programmer's point of view) has dropped considerably. XCode still isn't as good as VS6 which is like 15 years old, never mind Dev studio 2005 or 2008. The documentation is scattered, not easy to find, occasionally wrong, or simply missing. The examples may not even compile or contain non-existent functions. It is unbelievable how bad it is.
    If Steve Jobbs wants to really get a large coder population he ought to spend some of those billions (or is it trillions) of dollars on a team that will re-write the current documentation in a correct, easy to understand, with full examples, arranged in a logical manner for everyone to use. He should say, "See MSDN online? I want something like that, only better, it has to be MUCH better." Then he should say to the XCode team, "Look at DevStudio 2008. XCode should do EVERYTHING that does. Once that is done, IMPROVE XCode even more to make 2008 look like a joke."
    To bad the Developer aspect of the "Apple Experience" has not gotten "End User" treatment. Then it would be a joy to develop on Macs.
    So here I am asking for help on certain things. You wonder why I do not use Cocoa. Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. My first look didn't look promising, and a quick look at the docs is all about GUI's. My app has NO GUI. Again, Cocoa? Maybe it will still work, but the examples and stuff I see are all about GUIs.
    When I get time, I will look at cocoa even further. MFC on windows is MOSTLY about GUI stuff, but there is a small section of it that does not deal with GUIs. CString is a great MFC class. I had to get rid of it though cause Mac's do not have a similar class. I use CStdString which is a platform agnostic CString replacement.
    I hope you are all a little more enlightened. BTW my Application which runs on Mac's and PCs on no less then 3 MILLION Machines has not crashed ONCE in the past 2 years. There have been bugs, but nothing that crashed it. The bugs were mostly unforeseen situations, like what if the guy has 15 network adapters that are all LIVE? I didn't plan for that, there were complications, the server got some strange data, but it didn't crash (My app, not the server. It crashes on occasion still). Are there bugs in my code? I am sure there are, but I do not know of any, because if I did, it would be fixed.

    The redirection operator > along with stuff like pipe | history !$ etc. is interpreted by the shell, not by the cat program.
    When you do cat X > Ycat only sees the X. The rest is interpreted by the shell to redirect the cat program's stdout.
    However, when you Runtime.exec(), you don't have the shell, so cat sees X > Y as its arguments, and interprets them all as file names. Since there's no file named > you get the error.
    The solution is to first man cat on your system and see if it happens to have a -o or somesuch operator that lets it (rather than the shell) send its output to a file. If not, then you need to invoke a shell, and pass it cat and all of cat's args as the command to execute.
    Read the man pages for you shell of choice, but for bash, I believe you'd give Runtime.exec() something like /bin/bash -c 'cat X > Y'

    Since the pipe '|' is interpreted by the shell then you need the shell to invoke your command
            String[] command = {"sh","-c","find /tmp/reports1 -name " + "\"" + "*" + "\"" + " -mtime +" + strdaysback + " -print|xargs rm -r"};
            final Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
      You should also read http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html at least twice and implement the recommendation regarding stdout and stderr.
    P.S. Why are you not using Java to find and delete these files?

  • Executing a shell script from java using runtime.exec()

    Hi I am trying to create a script (test_script) and execute it -- all within one java program...

    Hi all,
    we are trying to run the following from MAXL console
    MAXL> msh script.msh 100 c:\t.txt
    where script.msh has the line:
    shell 'echo $1 >> $2'
    we are looking to add a line with text "100" to the file C:\t.txt but it's actually creating a file called $2 with the text "$1" within it.
    How can we workaround it?
    Thanks

    If I understood well you command line, we would have .log and .err files but .err would be also redirected to .log apart from .err, right?^^^Exactly. That way you can look at either stream, or both. If you think about it, you could test for the existence of any .err file (or come up with your own unique extension for that directory) and flag that after the fact with an email, and attach the specific error and the overall stream. Mind you, given the size of your files, you might want to zip them down first.
    It's the best (or, depending on your outlook, the worst) of all worlds.
    Scripting is one of those things that isn't very sexy, and when it's done well it just fades into the background and doesn't get the credit it deserves. But when it blows up or is kludgy beyond compare it makes everyone's life miserable.

  • Execute shell command from within pascal code

    Hello there,
    I am trying to execute a shell command from within my pascal code. I use XCode together with FreePascal. I have tried something like:
    exec ('program', 'options');
    adding the 'Dos' unit to the Uses clause of my program.
    Thus, e.g.,
    exec ('mkdir', '/A')
    to create a directory with the name 'A'.
    However, my attempts so far were unsuccessful. Can anyone help me on this, and perhaps provide a simple example of how to do it right?
    Thank you in advance,
    Shane

    In the mean time, I found the problem myself. I am just posting the solution here for anyone that is interested. My original solution was correct, in that the 'Dos' Unit must be added, and that the right command is 'exec'. There was however a problem with the correct path to the program that I wanted to invoke. In the shell, this program was accessible from anywhere. However, in the 'exec' command, the full path to the program must be given. Since I am not a Unix expert, I don't know the reason for this.
    So, in summary, the solution is:
    Uses Dos;
    begin
    exec ('full path to program', 'program options');
    e.g.: exec ('/bin/sh', '/run.sh') to process the commands in the file /run.sh
    end
    Hope this may be of help to anyone else.

  • Executing shell commands from Java.

    I want to execute shell commands in Java using the Runtime.exec( String ) method.
    The method works fine under Linux OS, but under Windows '98 the method didn't work at all!
    For example the following call: Runtime.exec( "dir" ) throws an exception showing that the command was not completed. If I replace dir with ls under Linux all is good. What is the problem with the Microsoft Windows '98 ? Is there any solution at my problem ?!
    thx in advance!

    hey JSarmis,
    You can help me... "ls" doesn't work for me on linux.. using Runtime.exec, some commands work, others don't... you may hold the key to what i need? How did u get "ls" to work?

  • Execute Shell command in Panel SDK Mac

    Hi,
    I´d like to execute the following task with a Panel:
    • render the active sequence
    • when finished send the output video file to another application using Apple Script
    The Panel SDK Examples are a great start. So the missing part is, how can I send a shell command that executes an AppleScript?
    In the ExtendScript Toolkit I found a function that looks promising. But executing this script only pops up an alert window saying "failed". Here´s the code:
    var test = UIAutomationSupport.helper.executeConsoleCommand("ls -l");
    alert(test);
    So does Premiere has an equivalent function like system.callSystem() in After Effects?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Bruce, thanks for your support!
    For those who are interested what bbb_999 refers to, here is how you can execute a shell command (in the example I use "osascript" to launch an AppleScript file):
    In your html file you simply write these simple lines of code
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function executeShellCommand(){
              var result = window.cep.process.createProcess('/usr/bin/osascript','/Users/myUserName/Desktop/test.scp t');
              alert(result.data+" "+result.err);
    </script>
    The first argument of createProcess() is the path to the shell tool.
    That´s all. Hope this helps others.
