How can I run a dos command from java on windows 98, 95?

The usage of cmd.exe in the java program to run a dos command on windows 98. 95 doesn't work as the equivalent command is command.exe
But using the command.exe in the java program makes my program to hang.

hi,
As u mentioned, u cannot use the cmd.exe in win9x environment as cmd.exe is specific to windows NT, you can use the command.exe without any hitches.
for eg
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start command /K a.bat"); should run the batch file a.bat..
if the problem persists, try posting the snippet of code that you are using.

"Happy Holiday"
and
"Hello World"
??First of all, you're not even calling the Happy Holiday one. If you want it to do something, you have to invoke it.
And by the way, in your comments, you mention that in one case, a new process is created. Actually, new processes are created each time you call Runtime.exec.
Anyway, if you want the output from the processes, you read it using getInputStream from the Process class. In fact, you really should read that stream anyway (read that URL I sent you to find out why).
If you want to print that output to the screen, then do so as you'd print anything to the screen.
in notepad HelloWorld.java, I can see it is opened,
but in Java, not.I have no idea what you're saying here. It's not relevant whether a source code file is opened in Notepad, when running a program.

Executing a dos command from java in windows nt

i need to execute the
" net send"
command from the command line in windows nt, from within my java program... is there any way that i can execute cmommands in the dos command shell? or rather, does anybody know a way i can send a message ( in windows ) from java, from one computer to another over the lan?? I cannot have a java programming running on all the other computers, so i cannot make my program serve, it must just send the messges using a lan command....
(the net send command just sends a message in the form of a pop up box on the receiver's screeen)
thanks a bunch guys!!!
Thanks a bunch guys!!!!

you can do that with exec() in Runtime.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(command here);but before you do that you need to read this:

How can i run a linux command in java app?

i created a cell script to run the compile process of my C++ simulator and want to control it thru java application, i tried the following but it doesn't work.
the command in linux should be. under the path /home/workspace/SIM/ run: . / zs_compile
and i use runtime to do this
String path="home/workspace/SIM/ . /zs_compile";
try {Runtime.getRuntime().exec(path);}
catch( IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace() ;
Error report is java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: home/workspace/SIM/ . /zs_compile : not found
who can help me to find the reason, thanks a lot!!!!!

the reason is that the command you're truing to execute can't be found. se this article for other traps relatd to runtime.exec:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
the command in linux should be. under the path /home/workspace/SIM/ run: . / zs_compilecould yu elaborate a bit? "should be . under the path" -- do you mean it should be sourced from that path? Sourcing a script file makes no sense from a Java program.

I would like to run my function module ZMY from EXCEL-IN-PLACE using VBA and get a result.

if you are using excel in place in the web application environment I doubt you can, you've never really had any macro functionalty there.

DOS command from java applet

Hi, I need to perform a DOS command from Java (using WFC if needed)...
I have no idea, so please help!
Thank you.

OH OH OH WAIT! It is an Applet! i think there will be some security issues here! Sure enough you can't execute commands on the system from an applet unless you make some changes on the java.policy files on the client machine (that means, if your applet is in a web page, every machine which view your page).

Unix and dos commands from Java

How can I issue a unix command from a java program eg: setenv
help would be appreciated

setenv is a C shell builtin command. And it wouldn't make any sense to execute setenv from Java anyway, because the environment variable changes would only apply to that shell and possibly (if the variable is exported) to subprocesses.
But look at the java.lang.Runtime.exec() method and the Process class.
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html)
Be careful of input and output to the commands. If the command produces output and you don't read it from the getOutputStream(), your command will hang forever when the OS stdio buffer fills up. This can cause terrible random hangs. Search the forums for more on how to handle input and output. You'll probably need multiple threads to read/write the different streams. (stderr, stdout, stdin)

How can I run a gui app from an su shell?

Hello,
I login to my mac as a non-admin account. I then open a terminal and su to my admin account for anything requiring it. I am trying to run a gui app from the terminal window, but get this error, and the app does not open:

I know I can "switch user" but this is cumbersome as it requires typing a password each time, and I need to have applications side-by-side for easy access and testing. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I use LaunchAsRoot to run GUI apps as the root user, while logged in to my admin account.
Another way is to use Applescript. Here's what I do to run Console as root:
do shell script "/Applications/Utilities/Console.app/Contents/MacOS/Console > /dev/null 2>&1 &" with administrator privileges

Run dos command from java

May I ask how I should write if I want to execute a dos command in java? The command is :
"C:\Program Files\Real\realproducer\rmeditor -i abc.rm -d abc.txt". Should I use array?
Thanks!

why an array ?
String command = "C:\\Program Files\\Real\\realproducer\\rmeditor -i abc.rm -d abc.txt";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( command );what about the seach function on the left side ? ;-)
