Get PID of the current java instance

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to get the Process ID (in linux) of the currently running java application, from the java application.
So say I execute my Java program, and I want the program itself to know its PID.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
Lucy

A 'PID' is an OS-specific value, and wouldn't be particulary portable, so I don't think there's any API methods to find it. You could use Runtime.exec() to execute the ps command and find your Java program there, or maybe you could query the /proc directory for the process ID.

  • How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report

    hello,
    How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report ? For example something like "fsp_sort_1_desc" - if the user sorts by the first column ?
    I cannot use the :REQUEST for this, sometimes the current sort column is not in the :REQUEST, but it is still active.
    I thought it was posssible by using
    APEX_UTIL.GET_PREFERENCE (
    p_preference IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    p_user IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT V('USER'))
    RETURN VARCHAR2;
    function, but I don't really know which preference should I pass as parameter.
    looking in WWV_FLOW_PREFERENCES$, i saw preferences_names like FSP4000_P527_R6281510839654570_SORT , I'm not sure how this name is formed.
    I'm using generic columns for that complex report (which has a flexible number of columns shown), and the idea is that sometimes I have to overwrite that sort column, in case the user chose the version of the report with fewer columns than the previous one.
    Can I get (using API) a list of all preferences set for some user ?
    Thank you,

    seems that it is FSP<app_number>P<pagenumber>R<regionnumber>_SORT.
    is there anyplace where I can get these kind of things documented ?
    Thank you.

  • Deleting the current table instance

    Hi
    I am replicating table dynamically using
    this.resolveNode('form1.#subform._subForm2').addInstance(1);
    if (xfa.host.version < 8) {
        xfa.form.recalculate(1);
    When I try to delete the current table instance using
    this.resolveNode('form1.#subform._subForm2').removeInstance(this.parent.index);
    if (xfa.host.version < 8) {
        xfa.form.recalculate(1);
    results in always deleteting the first instance ( table )
    Any help ?
    I have a table with a button "Duplicate Table" and "Delete Table"
    If user clicks on "Duplicate Table" it creates/replicates/duplicates the entire table with all the fields and the buttons.
    Now from the user perspective suppose I have created/duplicated 5 tables with all the data fields and buttons ( please note each of the newly created table will also have their individual "Delete Table" option). Now I want to delete the third table using the "Delete Table" from the third table ( want to delete the same instance from which the button is clicked deleted .

    Recheck your line:
    this.resolveNode('form1.#subform._subForm2').removeInstance(this.paren t.index);
    Replace this.parent.index with the name of the subform you are deleting. (ex: myParentTable.index);
    or
    Find how far down your delete button is in the hierarchy. For example if my delete button is wrapped in Subform1 and Subform1 is inside of TableToRemove then your syntax would have to be removeInstance(this.parent.parent.index) because the subform you want to remove is 2 parents up.

  • How to get cwd of the current process in the kernel in Solaris 8

    Hi, everyone
    Does any one know how to get the path name of the current working directory of the current process in the kernel in Solaris8 ?
    I searched the forum and got some related links, but none of them gives a clear solution.
    Sample code can help a lot!
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply.
    What the user structure contains is the vnode pointer of the cwd, but I want go get the pathname of it, like /export/home/abc/.First, all you can get is a path name - there can be more than one. And then there's the problem of determining the path name you want if the process is running under chroot.
    Assuming you don't have to deal with those, there's this thread:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5084620&messageID=9298124
    Of course, that thread doesn't say how to do that. But it appears to be part of Solaris 10.
    I once had to solve this same problem for a Linux kernel module I wrote, so I know it's theoretically possible. But I also know it's not as simple as it seems it should be, and any results you do get are not guaranteed to be unique and, IIRC, not even correct in some cases.
    Sorry I can't be more specific than that right now.

  • How to get week of the current month

    Hi all,
    Is there any way to find out week of the current month.
    Please help..

    Do not confuse date format and the parameter in the file NqsConfig.ini
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/bi_server/nqsconfig
    As say in the previous link, you must check in the NqsCOnfig.ini file that you have this line
    DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;because the cast function take it as format to discover the day, month and year.
    Besides, the functions WEEK_OF_YEAR AND MONTH don't care about the date format, they only need a date.
    Check here this article :
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/ide/toad/toad_date_format
    To see that the date format is much more a question of rendering (for OBIEE, Toad or SqlPlus) than of data.
    Verify your NqsConfig.ini and give a try.
    Success

  • Get info about the current call

    I need a solution (eg ANE) for information about the current call - event of success, of duration, of ending.
    Is that possible?

    thx,
    the example below shows some basic information.
    Display myDisplay = Display.getDisplay(this);
    Displayable dis = myDisplay.getCurrent();
    int high = dis.getHeight();
    int width = dis.getWidth();
    boolean isCol = myDisplay.isColor();       
    int nubCol = myDisplay.numColors();more detailed information about model, aren't available through the standard api, on blackberry's there some restricted apis that provide these device-type and other detailed information...
    for more basic information, just look at the class-methods from display and displayable...

  • Adding Indicators & Controls from the diagram - why do they get placed off the current screen?

    When I place a button, indicator, etc. from the diagram, it gets placed on the front panel nowhere near the existing stuff. What am I missing?
    Richard

    I don't know the exact algorithms used when LabVIEW places a control or indicator on the front panel, but I can tell you what I have observed so far:
    It seems that the new controls and indicators are always placed below all other controls and indicators. There may be additional rules, but this seems to be the most common occurrence I have seen.
    If you want more control over where your controls and indicators are placed, then you should created them manually from the palette before you begin your diagram. This is good practice, but not always possible.
    I hope that helps. Good luck.

  • Getting problem with the new java.util.concurrent package

    i m using the new concurrency package of jdk 1.5 in my code. see the line:
    Executor threadPool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
    about this, api doc says Creates a thread pool that creates new threads as needed, but will reuse previously constructed threads when they are available
    but i dont find this method to create new threads whenever required. please tell me about this.
    in my code, in some rare cases many threads r created, and very difficult to detect the number of active threads.
    as the previous one failed i tried with another one newFixedThreadPool(int). but here i got another problem. it works successfully but i dont understand what should be the size of the pool. i tried with 1000, it works well, but in a very rare case, it failed also. then i tried with 10000. but i m still confused, i dont know whether it would work always or not. with traditional threads my code never fails.
    please tell me, what should be the size of the pool and also let me know what is the problem with the first one (newCachedThreadPool)

    The thread pool should not be more than 100 threads. Ideally you should only have a small number of threads per CPU. If your threads are not long running it is possible that you could add 10,000 runnables but on start a small number of threads. Note, adding a thread take a non trivial amount of time so while the thread is added, all the others could finish. This could mean the number of threads could be 140 or smaller.
    Have you looked at the code to see what it does?
