Executing several .exe program in Window

I am going to write a quick program, it is to start several .exe programs ONE after ONE, each with a fixed time period, for example: 3 minutes. When time expired, this program is stopped and the next one starts....
programA.exe 3 mins
programB.exe 5 mins
movieC.avi 6 mins
Can I use Process.getRuntime().exec() to do it? Beside, is it possible to use Java to "terminate" the program when time expired?
Any suggestion, thx for any recommendation.

Can I use Process.getRuntime().exec() to do it? Yes. Runtime.exec() uses ProcessBuilder behind the scenes and you can get a little more control by directly using ProcessBuilder. You should spend some time reading the 4 sections of [http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html] and you should implement the recommendations.
Beside, is it possible to use Java to "terminate" the program when time expired?Yes. You can use Process#destroy().

Cannot execute sapevt.exe on a Windows platform

Hi
for some reason I cannot get the sapevt.exe program to raise an event in SAP when running on a Windows platform. The command line I'm using is :
D:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\sapevt.exe event=EVENT_NAME -t2 name=<SID> pf=D:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\profile\DEFAULT.PFL
It doesn't write an dev.evt trace file either. Also I'm using inside a VB script.
I can raise the event from within SAP Tcode SM62 and it runs fine in a Unix environment with slightly different parameters of course
Anybody help please.
I've looked at notes 802172 and others and tried all the suggestions within.
Thanks
Regards
Steve

I have the following command defined in SM69 that works on our Windows-based SAP systems:
Operating system command = sapevt
Parameters for operating system command = ? -p ? -t pf=$/DIR_INSTALL/\profile\default.pfl
Additional Parameters Allowed is checked
What not try and define that and then trigger it inside SAP itself? It might clue you in as to what the issue might be. The input parameters are the event name and then any additional parameters when triggering the event.

Call several .exe program via one RFC destination

Hi,
We use a RFC destination (one for each connected user) to communicate between SAP R/3 (4.6c) and an AS400 application via RFC server in .NET.
We need to call some .NET functions (for transactionnal purpose) and we wish not to mix functions refering to AS400 and .NET.
Is it possible to use one RFC destination to call functions in at least 2 .NET program ?
If not, is there other ways to make those communications work ?

Hi
It is not possible. I don't think of any other way to resolve this.
Thanks & Regards,

Executing Windows EXE program through JNLP

Hello,
I am trying to execute Windows .exe and dlls through Java web start/JNLP but unable to implement successfully. I tried by creating the content (exe and dlls) as a jar file and added as native resource library in the JNLP but not sure how to call the exe program?
Any help or sample code is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Edited by: b_raja on Feb 21, 2008 2:58 PM

I am trying achieve similar thing using JNLP. So far in my research, I think you need to use the installer-desc and have an implementation in ExtensionInstallerService.
Refer to the JNLP specifications. I havent tried to implement that yet, but will update here if I get anywhere.

How to start java.exe from a java program in windows ?

Hi,
I did like to know, if its possible to run java.exe from a java program on windows ? The java.exe should be visible from checking the processes that are currently running using the Task Manager on windows.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java Sample");

I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch). I removed the partition and started over. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

There could is likely a compatibility problem between the old software and the newer operating system.

Executing external programs in Windows from UNIX

Hi all,
I would like to call an external program in Windows box from UNIX box. I tried to create a command in SM69, specify the command and OS type to Windows. When I try to execute the command in SM49, I got an error 'program_start_error'.
I tried also to create an RFC destination in SM59, using connection type = T (start external program via TCP/IP), specifying the program in the Program field and specify the Windows box hostname (or IP add) in the Target host. But this also seemed could not work.
Is there any other ways I could do this?
Thank you.

Perhaps this might be helpful:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/
It allows executables in Firefox to be run - it is an extenstion, though, so it must be installed in Firefox before your page will work.
Another option is this solution, but it will still require a manual change in Firefox:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=803615
Or this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6472435/running-exe-in-firefox-why- do-i-get-an-error
However, you will still have problems with getting it to work cross-browser. Honestly, browsers are not supposed to have access like that to the client side file system, which absolutely makes sense for the web.
That is why you may have to approach the solution from a different angle - perhaps create a server side cloud version of your application(s) which can be easily accessed and run by your family members. I believe you used C to develop the applications? Although I have no experience with this framework, Wt might be a solution to convert your projects to server side applications:

Adobe Reader 9.0 takes over most Exe. programs

Help! I am using Vista (can't change this). When I upgrade to Adobe 9.0, the links for most all Exe. programs are replaced by link to Adobe. I note that others have referenced this problem for months. I can't believe I or anyone else is supposed to manually fix all the Exe. links. What's up with this? What's the problem and the fix? Thank you.

I would just like to say again that this isNOT a Reader bug. This is a Windows issue, most likely triggered by an issue with Windows Installer (which is used to install Reader). You guys just happened to encounter it when you were installing Reader.
Here is the actual Microsoft KB document covering this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555067
Here for example is a link to the same problem with WordPad:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/226825-46-help-files-converted-wordpad
Two, there are several ways to fix this issue. I also want to state that I have fixed this issue several times for others. I have also intentionally caused this issue so that I could be sure that the fixes I used did work (Win XP, Win 2K and Win Vista). From the above link:
Method 1)
Manually edit the registry to remove the default association with .exe files. Here is the walk through from the MS KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555067
Here is the same walk through detailing how to do this on the MS forums:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/16be61fe-76ef-4b91-9 f60-3338cbcefb97
Also please note this note at the bottom of the KB document:
"Note: If you are using Windows XP and you enable "System Restore" , you need to
 disable "System Restore" in "Safe Mode" before using the instructions above."
Here is how to enter Safe Mode (excerpt from MS KB doc):
Restart the computer in Safe Mode
To restart the computer in Safe Mode, use the appropriate method for your version of Microsoft Windows.
 1. Shut down, and then restart the computer.
 2. When you see the "Please select the operating system to start" message, press F8.
 3. On the Windows Advanced Options menu, use the ARROW keys to select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.
 4. If you have a dual-boot computer or a multiboot computer, select the appropriate operating system from the list, and then press ENTER.
For more information about Safe Mode, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222/ ) A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/202485/ ) Description of Safe Boot Mode in Windows 2000
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180902/ ) How to start a Windows 98-based computer in Safe Mode
Here is how to turn off system restore:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405
Method 2)
Open up a command line prompt. This can be done by going to Start > Run. In the Run box type, "cmd" and press enter. (don't type the quotes).
The rest is from the above post
>>
Reason is that your file associations has changed.
From the command prompt, type:
1. C:\>assoc|more <enter> --- this tells you the file associations that are in place
2. C:\>assoc .exe= <enter> ---- this removes the association on .exe files
