Executing os command from pl/sql
hi all , i've written the following code in order to call the unix OS command , the code compiles fine and runs too but when i pass any unix command as procedure parameter i encounter error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.io.IOException: can't exec: pwd does not exists
ORA-06512: at "SYS.EXEOS", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
kindly help me. i'll be very thankful to u
regards

Actually pwd is not an OS command, it is a shell commandJust for correction.
pwd is OS command and also some of shells (sh, ksh) could have their own pwd implemented which supercede existing binary pwd.
Linux:
$ which pwd
/bin/pwdSolaris:
$ which pwd
/usr/bin/pwd
Of course giving the privileges to run a shell from the database is a security hole big enough to drive a truck through. ThinkI totaly agree. Unfortunately there are people who are still thinking that database could be ideal mail server :-) or OS simulator :-).
Perhaps Oracle could be running under chroot-ed enviroment but this of course could be not useful in some cases.

Run OS command from Pl/SQL
Is there any way to execute an OS command from pl/sql other than using dbms_pipe & pro*C combo. I have done this way before but it seems there is built-in oracle package which can do this in 8/8i.
Also HOST command in forms will execute the OS coomand from the clinet. Is there any way to execute the OS command on the server from the forms clinet?
thanks,
Ravi.
nullRavi,
Can you send me an example how one can
execute a this command from a PL/SQL
program 'sed 3q /etc/passwd'.

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. -

Fire OMB Plus commands from PL/SQL
Hi all,
does anyone know if it is possible to fire OMB Plus commands from PL/SQL procedures?
I can imagine that there might be a PL/SQL package in the repository owner schema that accepts OMB Plus commands as strings...or something similar...
Thanks,
ElioHi Elio
I don't know about any existing package that could do that.
What I'd suggest is to build a stored procedure/function/package that could do that. Or even, execute OMB Scripts in the host from a pl/sql program.
Good luck.

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
MTHi 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

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) {... -

Execute a command from servlet
Hello,
How can I execute this command from a servlet ?
example: I want execute "java -cp /root/:/root/log/api/:/root/log/apps/ Transmitter" when I lunch servlet1.java
so which class in JAVA can do this ?
Thanks ?why u want to run another program? Usually you call the methods within the second program.
Is it possible to invoke another program in the server using a servlet? If so it could even mess up the whole server. I am not sure. -
Execute linux command from java
I wanna execute linux command from java, bu the output has error:
Return code = 1
top: failed tty get
The code as:
import java.io.*;
public class Execute {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
final Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("top");
new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
for (int count = 0; (count = is.read(buffer)) >= 0;) {
System.out.write(buffer, 0, count);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}.start();
new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
InputStream is = process.getErrorStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
for (int count = 0; (count = is.read(buffer)) >= 0;) {

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}.start();
int returnCode = process.waitFor();
System.out.println("Return code = " + returnCode);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}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.
