Hide oracle password on Unix command line call?

Does anyone know whether you can hide the password for a command line call to rwrun60 under Unix? For other Oracle products like sqlplus you can hide the password by supplying it using the redirection operator. i.e. sqlplus userid @script <<EOD and then put the password or password@sid on the next line and then EOD on the 3rd line to end the redirection. This virtually hides the password from anyone able to look at processes on the system. Can this also be done for rwrun60? If you just put the userid after userid= will reports prompt you for a password?

Take a look at http://java.sun.com/features/2002/09/pword_mask.html.
Hope this helps,

  • Method to restart Oracle Apps 11i OPP via Unix command line

    Hi All,
    Does any one knows if there any way to restart Oracle Apps 11i Output Post Processor (OPP) via the UNIX command line?
    Thanks

    Do you recommend that I set the profile option Concurrent: OPP Response Timeout to a higher value instead of increasing OPP Processes from 1 to 2? Yes.
    I'm thinking that increasing OPP Response Timeout to a higher value will not solve our issue as it seems that once we get our first OPP Timeout error, all of the requests that need the OPP fail. We've had this occur on a Saturday, which is a day where the volume of jobs that need the OPP is very low. The error you are getting is related to the timeout and it has nothing to do with the number of OPP processes you are running on. Please set this profile option and check then (after you bounce the OPP).
    Thanks,

  • Unable to run reports from the unix command line

    hi
    all of a sudden i am unable to run reports ( on App server 10g) either from the unix scripts or from the unix command line. But i can run them from the forms.
    Any one have any idead about this.
    Thank you

    thanks all for replying
    i have set the env variables for the session and it worked. Looks like i have to set the oracle_home and ld_library_path every time ( opening a new putty session) i call sqlldr.
    But in a whole i am trying to run sql loader from the forms. Right now we have Oracle app server 10g which forms 10g version. As oracle app server 10g didnt come with sqlldr, we are copied the sqlldr of database on to app server with different home. after this we can run sqlldr ( on app server ) from unix scripts but not from Forms. Then we opened a qurey with oracle about app server 10g not commig with sqlldr and its remedy . But they said that they dont have specific remedy for that and suggested the same what we did.
    So we came up with java package which does the same funtion as host command and trying to run sqlldr which is on the database( ie replacing the host command in the forms with the database funtion). By using that funtion i am able to run the sqlldr from sql plus but not from forms. I couldnt easily debug it as i wont through any error messages.
    Any one have any idea of this ...
    Thank you

  • Help Please: How to invoke unix command lines from java?

    I have read past topics. Those are really helpful, but I still haven't got my job done. I tried the following:
    String command1 = "ls -la > ls1.txt";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command1);
    String command2 = "tcsh -c ls -la > ls2.txt";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command2);
    String command4 = "cp keywords.txt copyversion1.txt";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command4);
    String command5 = "tcsh -c cp keywords.txt copyversion2.txt";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command5);
    String command6 = "tcsh -c 'cp keywords.txt copyversion3.txt'";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command6);
    Only "command4" works. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much Gautam. Your solution certainly works. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you (or anybody who is willing to answer) something else. I am trying to run other types of unix command lines as well. I thought that the format you gave would work for everything. But it doesn't seem so:
    String command1[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ls -la > ls1.txt "}; // this works as you suggested
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command1);
    String command12[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "lynx -dump http://www.yahoo.com > webpage.txt"}; //working fine.
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command12);
    String command10[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM10 &"}; //doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command10);
    String command[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM0 &"}; // doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
    String command13[] = {"tcsh", "-c", "ngc -text keywords.txt -lm LM13"}; // doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command13);
    String command8 = "ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM8 &"; //doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command8);
    String command9 = "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count -text keywords.txt -lm LM9 &"; //doesn't work
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command9);
    I tried "commandd1" and "command12". Those worked fine. No problemo. However, there's someting else I need to get done for my job; that is "command10". But it just didn't work. I thought maybe, it's because "ngram-count" is not part of the standard UNIX commands. So, I thought I might just add another alias for it in the ".cshrc" file and call it "ngc" instead. Then I tried to call the alias "ngc" instead. But it didn't work also. Then I thought, maybe, I should call it by referencing it from its original directory "/u/drspeech/sun4/bin/ngram-count". That didn't work either. I tried a couple of other combinations. None worked. I would really like to see how to solve this.

  • Is there a way to change the VNC password thru unix command in ARD2?

    In a local network, I get access denied errors from macs that have the vnc password different than the Administrative login user password. I needed to change the Admistrator password which I did thru the Unix command in ARD2.
    Now.
    Is there a way to change the VNC password thru unix command in ARD2?
    Example:
    remote computer setup
    Panther 10.3.9
    vnc password - gopher
    user ID - testARD with admin rights
    user password - backdoor
    ARD2 Computer setup
    10.4.10
    login ID - testARD
    password - backdoor
    I get the blue icon but get an 'access denied' error.
    I change the password from backdoor to gopher.
    I get the red with dash icon but, can get access to the computer.
    What is going on? Is ARD2 using the VNC resource instead of ARDs resources?

    A quick search of Google finds this <http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/settingremote_desktops_vnc_password_interminal>. I have not tested this myself.

  • Using Unix Command Line to force logoff of other users

    Hello - I am the administrator for my family's Mac (OS X - 10.4.8). Four of us in the family share the system. Frequently, my family members forget to logoff. I would like to be able to force them off via the Unix command line. Can't I sign on as root and execute a "forced logoff" type of command?

    Thanks to Mihalis and Jarik for the additional info.
    I'm back now with a question. I have a user named "visitor" logged on. I issued a killall command which killed all the users processes except one. Using /Applications/Activity Monitor.app, I can see the process is "loginwindow" and it is owned by visitor.
    However,
    ps -u visitor
    reveals no running processes. Assuming I only had command-line access (no GUI to use Activity Monitor.app) and had multiple users logged in, how can I discover which loginwindow PID belongs to visitor?
    msq
    EDIT: I went ahead and sudo kill PID the loginwindow process owned by visitor and realized that
    ps -axj | grep visitor
    worked to reveal the loginwindow process owned by visitor. But when I logged visitor in (Fast User Switching) and ran sudo killall the Activity Monitor.app identifies the loginwindow as being owned by root but ps -axj | grep visitor shows the process belonging to visitor.
    Something weird in the depths of Leopard's UNIX land, but I think I can find my way around now.
    Thanks, everyone.

  • Command line calling

    Hello everyone,
    I am a PhD student in Stockholm, studying VoIP technology. I am in the middle of writing my dissertation, about command line calling.
    As I'm doing my researches, I've already found some very interesting research material, such as this page:
    XxXwww.voip-sip-sdk.com/p_251-how-to-use-the-command-line-caller-example-with-ozeki-voip-sip-sdk-voipXxX (cancel the X-s)
    It would be great to find someone to discuss this program, or maybe a whole group, because it would really help me with moving on.
    Any advice is welcome!

  • How to run Discoverer 10g report from unix command line

    Hello Experts,
    I am aware that discoverer report can run through command line using "dis51usr.exe /connect username/passward@connection_string /opendb "DISCOVERER.<<report name>> /export xls"".
    Can we run discoverer 10g report (stored in database) from server location / unix command line? Is there any command?
    Please assist. Thank you.

    Hi Tamir,
    Can you please mention from where we have to execute/run these commands? After setting enviornmental variable, are these commands run from any location or we have to go to particular server location and then execute (ex. from directory BI or else).
    Thank you.

  • How can I import eex files into Applications EUL from the unix command line

    How can I import *.eex and *.dis files into an Applications EUL from the unix command line?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The simple answer is you either have to use the client tool DIS51ADM to import files using the command line (Discoverer Admin is a windows only client tool), or the Java command line which needs a browser.
    In theory if you have a browser running on your Unix box you may be able to use the Java command line to make this work.
    Best wishes

  • How do I change my password on the command line?

    How does a user change their password on the command line in 10.4? This user is not an admin. I can try "passwd" and it asks for my old password, and then new password. Then it just says "Sorry" and does not change my password.
    Thanks!

    Is the user able to change the password from "System Preferences" > "Accounts" - i.e is the problem specific to the command line? If the user is unable to change their password at all, and the Mini has an Intel processor, they may be affected by the issue described here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304703
    Other users have posted here indicating that reinstalling the 10.4.8 update using the "combo" updater as suggested in the article has resolved the issue for them...

  • CUPS print job options fail when called from lp (UNIX command line)

    Under Leopard this command-line print request fails to respect the specified job options:
    lp -o number-up=2 -o page-border=double <filename>
    Though it worked great in Tiger, the number-up and page-border job options are now disregarded. I have tried lots of things (and wasted lots of paper) such as setting them permanently with lpoptions (and they do appear changed when the lpoptions command is repeated), using lpr instead of lp, reinstalling the printer via the CUPS localhost web interface, enabling non-Bonjour scanning with the hack to the CUPS preference file, deselecting "Last Printer Used" for the default printer in the System Preferences -- nope.
    I have not tried other job options; I assume that whatever is breaking these two is breaking all the others, and even if it isn't, these two are what I want.
    Is something new in Leopard overriding lpoptions job options? How do I make it stop? It is sooooo aggravating when something that used to work fine breaks. The printer is an HP LaserJet 4000N connected by Ethernet and discovered with AppleTalk.
    Thanks for any advice!

    Thanks John, I did search but somehow missed that thread.
    However it did not help. With or without the "-p printername" argument lpoptions does make a persistent change to its own data:
    +$ lpoptions+
    +media=Letter sides=one-sided finishings=3 copies=1 job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 number-up=2 auth-info-required=none job-sheets=none,none printer-info=Barrow printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=0 printer-location='Local Zone' printer-make-and-model='HP LaserJet 4000 Series' printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1209495301 printer-state-reasons=none printer-type=2134228 page-border=double+
    You can see that the printer "Barrow" has remembered "number-up=2" and "page-border=double". Regardless if I give any of these commands:
    +lpr <filename>+
    +lpr -P Barrow <filename>+
    +lp <filename>+
    +lp -d Barrow <filename>+
    none of them show the results of these option settings (and somewhere in the forest another tree is cut down).

  • XSL-FO Stylesheets (Oracle XSLT processor via command line)

    How does one go about editing BIP XSL-FO stylesheets converted from the MSWord plug in by using external tools?
    The converted files have many, many calls to Oracle functions that are unrecognized by the editing tools.
    We are using Stylus Studio and are getting errors on functions calls such as:
    <xsl:variable name="_XDOXSLTCTX" select="xdoxslt:set_xslt_locale($_XDOCTX, $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE, $_XDOCALENDAR, concat($_XDODFOVERRIDE,' ',$_XDOCURMASKS,' ',$_XDONFSEPARATORS))"/>
    This is but one example of course. There are many calls in each template and they are quite varied.
    Is there a way to "register" these with the tools so that they can call them (via tnsnames?). Even to having them ignored would be preferable to having the previewer completely fail.

    Hi Scott.
    there's a JavaAPI which you can use. So it's not really a command line interface, but perhaps it can fullfill you requirements.
