Executing a unix shell script as different OS userid

Hi,
We have installed a Process server in AIX environment using redwood userid. We have scripts running under different OS userids. Please advise how to schedule a job to execute a script(KSH sctipt) to run under a different OS userid ( other than redwood userid). Thanks in advance.
Thanks.
Raj.

Hi Gerben,
Thanks for the reply. My process server is running under redwood OS userid. I have a script called "ETL_EXPOERT.SH" created by the OS userid bodipadm. I want to run the script "ETL_EXPOERT.SH" as bodipadm userid. Please advise
1)What credential I have to create for bodipadm userid and what credentials I want to create for redwood userid?.
2)What credentials I want to assign to the script "ETL_EXPOERT.SH"?.
3)To which file I have to set the SETUID option for user switching ?. or where I have to setup the SETUID option?.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks.
Raj.

Error while trying to execute a unix shell script from java program

Hi
I have written a program to execute a unix shell script in a remote machine. I am using J2ssh libraries to estabilish the session connection with the remote box.The program is successfully able to connect and authenticate with the box.
The runtime .exec() is been implemented to execute the shell script.I have given below the code snippet.
try {
     File file_location = new File("/usr/bin/");
     String file_location1 = "/opt/app/Hyperion/scripts/daily";
     String a_mib_name = "test.sh";
     String cmd[] = new String[] {"/usr/bin/bash", file_location1, a_mib_name};
     Runtime rtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p = rtime.exec(cmd, null, file_location);
System.out.println( "Connected to the server1" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = br.readLine();
while(line !=null)
System.out.println(line);
line = br.readLine();
br.close();
p.getErrorStream ().close ();
p.getOutputStream().close();
int retVal = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("wait " + retVal);
//session.executeCommand("ls");
catch (IOException ex) {
I get an error message
Connected to the server
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/bin/bash" (in directory "\usr\bin"

I am sure of the file path where the bash.sh and test.sh are located.
Am i missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am using a simple program to connect to a RMI server and execute shell script. I use the Runtime.exec aommand to do the same.
The script is sh /tmp/pub/alka/test.sh /tmp/pub/alka/abc/xyz/ul ul
The script when run from the server, gives no errors. But when ran using rthe above method in java, gives errors as follows,
Mycode:
String command = "/bin/sh /tmp/pub/alka/test.sh /tmp/pub/alka/abc/xyz/ul ul";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();

Execute a unix shell script from forms9i

Hi ,
I would like to execute a unix shell script form a form when they pressed a button. The forms server is on Linux machine. I tried but when I pressed the button nothings happen. Could some one please help me how I could get working.
Is there is a way I could execute the unix shell script from PL/SQL proceudre or package.
Please some one help me.
Bain

You would not expect to see anything happening because the
script cannot directly send output to the web form. However, you can get it to write output to a file and use web.show_document in the form after the host command to display the file and see the output.

Executing a UNIX shell script using SM49

I have been trying all sorts of things to get this to work and I have been un-successful
I am trying to run the UNIX script using SM49. the command line that I am using is
/test/directory/bin/testmail.sh
the script testmail.sh looks like
#!/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/mailx -s testmail <email address>
I have tried all sorts of combinations to run this script
example
sh /test/directory/bin/testmail.sh
/test/directory/bin/testmail.sh %f
/test/directory/bin/testmail.sh %F
does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to run successfully. once I get this to run successfully in SM49, I am going to try it in the intregration builder of my PI process.

Hi,
considering authorization issues, you can use
CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'
    EXPORTING
      commandname                         = 'LIST_DB2DUMP'
      additional_parameters               = l_path
     operatingsystem                      = 'UNIX'
    TABLES
      exec_protocol                       = lt_btcxpm
    EXCEPTIONS
to extract information about files on the server
I used this code to get detailed information for display including the attributes
LOOP AT lt_btcxpm ASSIGNING <btcxpm>
    WHERE length > 57
      AND ( NOT message+57 CO '. '
            OR message+57 = '..' )
      AND ( message(1) = 'd' OR
            message(1) = 'l' OR
            message(1) = '-' ).
    l_srvfil-type = <btcxpm>-message(1).
    IF l_srvfil-type = '-'.
      l_srvfil-type = 'F'.
    ENDIF." l_srvfil-type = '-'.
    TRANSLATE l_srvfil-type TO UPPER CASE.               "#EC TRANSLANG
    l_srvfil-file = <btcxpm>-message+57.
    CONDENSE l_srvfil-file.
    l_srvfil-attri = <btcxpm>-message+1(9).
*    l_srvfil-time = <btcxpm>-message+44(12).
    l_srvfil-size = <btcxpm>-message+32(11).
    APPEND l_srvfil TO lt_srvfil.
ENDLOOP." at lt_BTCXPM assigning <BTCXPM>.
pt_srvfil = lt_srvfil.
For the srvfil information I used this structure
BEGIN OF typ_srvfil,
%_box TYPE flag,                                         "#EC *
type   TYPE char01,
attri TYPE isp_rel,
file   TYPE file,
name   TYPE file,
size   TYPE sytleng,
owner TYPE sy-uname,
mod_date TYPE sydatum,
mod_time TYPE syuzeit,
END OF typ_srvfil,
I do not remember exactly how the attribute information is resolved. In Unix all file system authorizations can be set as for the user, the group or for all and it can be read, write, execute granted. If you are no unix expert, ask one or google/wiki for some details.
I wrote a program for navigation, display, and some more functions on the file system which is too big to post here and is not fully system-independent. Not perfect but useful and more than 5 years old. Contact me by mail if you want it.

Java exec() of UNIX shell script

I have a java application that uses:
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmdLine);
to execute a UNIX shell script, for example:
#!/bin/ksh
. /export/pc112477/freeware/work1/wsEnv
export PATH=/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:$PATH
cd /export/pc112477/freeware/work1/usr/src/pkgdefs/SFWnmap
/usr/ccs/bin/make -e ROOT=$ROOT install
RESULT=$?
if [ $RESULT = 0 ]
then
echo "Package source"
cd /export/pc112477/freeware/work1/usr/src/pkgdefs/SFWnmapS
/usr/ccs/bin/make -e ROOT=$ROOT install
RESULT=$?
fi
exit $RESULT
Some times the running of the script locks up depending on how much work the script has to, eg. if the make calls pkgmk for a small package it runs okay but if its a large package it locks up in pkgmk.
The script itself works okay if run directly
Does anyone have any ideas on why this locks up and how I could stop it doing it.
Thanks

For anyone who stumbles across this and needs an answer:
To empty the standard error and output, you need to use getErrorStream() and getInputStream() on the Process object created when you execed your command. Create new InputStreamReaders with the streams from the process, then wrap those with BufferedReaders and read each line with a while loop. This is the basic thing you need to do:
try{
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(proc.getErrorStream());
BufferedReader errReader = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line;
while((line = errReader.readLine()) != null)
<do something with each line of error>
} //end try
catch(<errors>) {
<do something with errors>
} //end catch
What you really should do is put the stream handling in a separate class that extends Thread, create an instance for the error and output streams, and start each one. There is a class called StreamGobbler that does this sort of thing. Look at http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html to find out more about it and read a detailed explanation of different problems with exec().

Can i call unix shell script from B2B callout.

Hi,
We had a requirement to invoke a unix shell script from B2B callout implemented class. Here is the code in implementation class:
public void execute(CalloutContext context,List input,List output)
throws CalloutDomainException, CalloutSystemException {
try {
CalloutMessage cmIn = (CalloutMessage)input.get(0);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
String inputFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/input/test.txt";
String outputFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/output/test.txt.gpg";
File outFile = new File(inputFile);
String str =cmIn.getBodyAsString();
fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos);
out.write(str);
out.close();
String shellFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/dg.sh";
String cmd[] = new String[] { shellFile, inputFile, outputFile };
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(cmd);
int i = pr.waitFor();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
CalloutMessage cmOut = new CalloutMessage(sb.toString());
output.add(cmOut);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new CalloutDomainException(e);
We were able to execute the unix shell script from standalone java class with same code. But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.
Is it possible to invoke unix shell script from B2B callout?
Please give inputs.
Regards,

Though it's not a good idea to invoke shell scripts from java callout but technically it will work.
But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.What is not working as expected? Any error in the log (server-diagnostic.log or server.out)?

Error while executing unix shell script from java program

Hi All,
I am trying to execute unix shell script from a java program using Runtime.execute() method by passing script name and additional arguments.
Code snippet :
Java Class :
try{
     String fileName ="test.ksh";
     String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
     String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
     int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
     sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Test.ksh
export -- application realated paths..
nohup abc.exe 1> test.log 2>&1;
$1
exit.By running the above java class , i am getting exit Value: 139 and log file test.log of 0 bytes.
when i am running the same command (/usr/bin/ksh test.ksh satish) manually, it's calling abc.exe file successfully
and able generate the logs properly.
Pls let us know where exactly i am stuck..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Satish

Hi Sabre,
As per the guidelines provided by the article, i had done below changes..
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader iStreamReader = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
String line = null;
try{
String fileName ="test.ksh";
String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
is = proc.getErrorStream();
iStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
bReader = new BufferedReader(iStreamReader);
System.out.println("<ERROR>");
while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Error is : "+line);
System.out.println("</ERROR>");
int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Now , it's showing something like..
<ERROR>
</ERROR>

2. Get SSH client in Java and execute SSH commands on remote host using pure Java API.

Hello All,
I am trying to execute a simple unix shell script from ABAP.
What I did so far..
1. created a test.sh file with single command echo "Hello".
2. placed this file on application server /Usr/sap/test.sh
3. executing ABAP program which as FM RFC_REMOTE_PIPE
CODE:
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE'

if i populate lv_command = echo "hello" it works fine
if i give .sh file path in lv_command it is not working. it returns 1.
Please help...
I was searching SDN i found that rfcexec service should be enabled... how do i check that..
i checked t code \SMGW , i don't see any output...
i checked FM GWY_READ_CONNECTED_SYSTEMS, i don't hsee anyting related to unix...
Please suggest.

I resolved the issue.
It was issue with permission.
Script file should have full permission ( Mode 777)..

Executing Unix shell scripts with DBMS_SCHEDULER

I have the following Unix shell script create_backup_file.sh:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ssh [email protected] /usr/bin/touch/app_home/home/trotestbat/scripts/TRO_batch_complete_`date +%d-%m-%Y-%H%M`
If I execute this from the command prompt it creates the file on the remote server.
I've used dbms_scheduler to try and execute this from Oracle:
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM
program_name => 'CREATE_TRO_BACKUP_FILE'
,program_type => 'EXECUTABLE'
,program_action => '/APP/TORPEDO/DTE/SCRIPTS/create_backup_file_tro.sh'
,number_of_arguments => 0
,enabled => TRUE
,comments => NULL
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'DTE.TESTAGAIN'
,start_date => TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('2010/05/17 16:09:24.710789 +01:00','yyyy/mm/dd
hh24:mi:ss.ff tzh:tzm')
,repeat_interval => NULL
,end_date => NULL
,program_name => 'DTE.CREATE_TRO_BACKUP_FILE'
,comments => NULL
END;
The problem I have is that scheduler executes the shell script and creates the file but it never completes the job. The status of the job is permanently 'RUNNING'. Why is the scheduler not returning a completed status?

the "infinite" script is usually caused by a prompt (script pauses for a user input).
Please keep in mind that executing script via scheduler is not the same as manually via prompt.
1. the script runs as ORACLE user ID (or whatever you specified using DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_credential or/and "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora")
2. the environment variables are probably not the same.
My wild guess is that you never ran SSH using "oracle" UID and thus it prompts for permission to add the remote computer’s fingerprint to the user’s ~/.ssh/known_hosts file - since it is a script, it just hangs and waits for input.
Did you try to login to unix box as oracle uid and run the script manually?

UNIX Shell Script - Maxl - executing 4 Maxl script at the same time

Hi,
I wrote a UNIX shell script that basically call 4 maxl script to execute at once. But it seem to executing 2 maxl and then it goes to the last script. So, script 4a,4b,4c, & 4d should execute all at the same time. But for some reason at random only two script is being executed. And then it would go to script 5. Anybody have any answer to why it's doing this? Or is it something i'm doing it is incorrect help please?
I'm running essbase 11.1.2
Here is my script:
#!/bin/sh
# Maxl script to run
export MAXL_SCRIPT_1=/hyperion/..../script1.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_2=/hyperion/..../script2.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_3=/hyperion/..../script3.maxl

Thanks!
I just noticed that the problem was due to something *within my application*.
I explain:
i built an application and I want it to be activated by my script.
I have another script running, but this is not a problem as I discovered later...
The problem is indeed that my script activates my application, but even when my application is opened, so it succeded, it stays hanged.
I found that the same thing does not happen with regulare applications, such as Safari or iTunes, so i narrowed down the probglem to my application...
Is there something i should do to it?
I checked the "scriptable" checkbox inside my application plist, but the result is still the same...

Sounds like you either have a corrupt class file or you're using an older version of the JVM to try to execute classe that were compiled for a newer version.

Execute stored procedure from Unix shell script

My current method of executing stored procedures (wpl_1 and wpl_2) from a unix shell script is as follows:

set serveroutput on size 1000000
set timing on
execute wpl_1('0000010676','~')
