Executing Operstaing System command

Hi,
I want to execute an operating system command from my java program. I tried running dir command Runtime classes exec function, but It raised an exception "CreateProcess: dir error=2". I'm using win2k as an operating system.
Could somebody please help me?
Thanks
Manjula

Hi !
Using the Runtime class u can execute any exceutable file on the OS like the exe or com on windows. There is no executable file called dir... Instead put the dir command in xxx.bat file and then try executing the batch file.
I hope this helps...
Regards,
Vin

  • Vista: use the windows program manager to execute operating system commands

    attempting to run forms 6 on vista... the forms app attempts a call sqlplus using the host builtin to populate some tables before calling the report.
    in windows vista i get a message box indicating "use the windows program manager to execute operating system commands".
    is this windwos vista message? would this have to do with permissions?
    any insight most appreciated and thanks in advance.

    I don't know about the HOST-problem, but..
    the forms app attempts a call sqlplus using the host builtin to populate some tables before calling the report.What about putting the logic from the SQL*Plus-scripts into a database-procedure and call that instead. I think,, with the current approach you will get problems at least when you have to migrate to Web (e.g. Forms 10g).

  • Executing operating system command within trigger or procedure

    Here is some code to tell you how to do:
    First a small Java program that taker a string as a parameter and executes it as an os-command
    import java.lang.Runtime;
    import java.lang.Process;
    public class Commands extends Object {
    * Constructor
    public Commands() {
    // On NT the command should be like this "cmd /c del c:\temp\readme.txt"
    // exec execute('cmd /c del c:\temp\readme.txt');
    public static void execute (String cmd ) {
    try {
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    try {
    p.waitFor();
    catch (java.lang.InterruptedException intex ) {
    intex.printStackTrace();
    System.out.println("Return = "+ p.exitValue());
    System.out.println(" Done ...");
    catch ( java.io.IOException iox) {
    iox.printStackTrace();
    ===================end of java ====
    Use loadjava to load it into the database and create a pl/sql wrapper around the java code.
    See the manual about loadjava details.
    Log in to sqlplus as SYSTEM and create a role for this purpose e.g. 'JAVA_ROLE'
    and exec the following as SYSTEM or SYS to make sure the user has the the needed privs.
    dbms_java.grant_permission('JAVA_ROLE','SYS:java.io.FilePermission','<<ALL FILES>>','read,write,execute,delete');
    dbms_java.grant_permission('JAVA_ROLE','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','writeFileDescriptor',null);
    dbms_java.grant_permission('JAVA_ROLE','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission','readFileDescriptor',null);
    and you're done.

    I would like to execute a system command (for example

    Executing a process is relatively simple. However doing this on a remot system is another matter.

    Seems like it has something to do with the permissions granted to the JVM? I have googled high and low and still haven't found a way to solve it. I've also tried adding grant { permission java.io.FilePermission "file:/bin/ls", "execute"; } to my java.policy file but to no avail. Could somebody point out how to solve this? Thanks!

    I would think it is an OS permission thing rather than java permission
    What user is apache running as on this system?
    Does the user apache is running as have permissions to run these commands, in the directory where you are running them? Try executing them yourself when logged in as that user.
    I would also recommend you read the article [when runtime.exec() won't|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html].

  • How to execute operation system commands by using TSQL without enabling xp_cmdshell.

    Hi Experts
    Looking for advise if one can use operation system commands using TSQL without enabling xp_cmdshell. 
    actually using xp_cmdshell requires sysadmin privs which I am unable to provide (directly or using proc) to a user  but the user needs some operating system commands to execute for file manipulation from sql server session. Please share your thought.
    Best Regards 
    khalil

    >but the user needs some operating system commands to execute for file manipulation from sql server session
    See article here
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2014/replace-xpcmdshell-command-line-use-with-sql-server-agent/:
    "Problem
    I need to run something from the command-line, but based on best practices xp_cmdshell has been disabled. The task that needs to run is an internal process that will originate from within SQL Server. Is there a way to do this without using xp_cmdshell?
    Solution
    The use of xp_cmdshell is generally frowned upon and is now recommended to be disabled, unless it is absolutely necessary.  There is a solution that works around this restriction via the use of SQL Server Agent.
    Wherever SQL Server is installed, SQL Server Agent is installed with it (except for SQL Express). SQL Server Agent has the ability to run job steps which invoke the command shell. And in the case that the job is owned by a member of the sysadmin fixed server
    role, the job will execute as the service account under which the SQL Server Agent is running. "

  • Executing Operating system command

    I have a file(ftp)-xi-file(ftp) scenario. I want to run a operating system command on output/processed file which is on a different physical server through a script.

Could you plz somebody advise whether it works ?? if it is the case what precaustions should we take ??
    thanks

    Try gettting the error input stream as well (getErrorStream()). Maybe you are getting output there.
    You might want to try just executing the 'useradd' part, getting the output stream of that process, and then put the parameters of useradd into the outputstream.

  • Executing Operating system commands

    Hi,
    I need to execute sql*loader from APEX(sqlldr scott/tiger CONTROL=ulcas1.ctl ). How can I implement this in APEX. In oracle forms , I can execute this by a trigger when-button-pressed in a push button - host('sqlldr scott/tiger CONTROL=ulcas1.ctl ').
    Regards
    JIJU

    I took the mention of the Forms method to indicate that the requirement was another manifestation of that currently popular meme Calling calc.exe from APEX
    (At least I've thought there was a lot of it about at the moment...)
    @Jiju - there is no equivalent of host in ApEx. You can write your application to allow files to be uploaded to the server and parsed by your application, or written to the server file system and read as an external table. There are a lot of threads about this kind of thing in this forum: search for "file upload"...
