How execute UNIX commands?

Hi, does anyone know how to execute an UNIX command in Java? Command->
find -name '*.dmp' in a directory called /db/Backup? What are the parameters that i've to pass in for this function-> Runtime.getRuntime().exec(); ??? And how do i get the filenames of the files searched?

Do i have to pass the path to-> Runtime.getRuntime().exec();Of course. Just do the following:
final String command = ;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("find /tmp -name Bar.class");Or, you can use the alternative exec and pass your command-line arguments in a String array.
Check the AP:

  • Executing Unix Commands

    Hi
    I realise there is a Runtime class to help execute Unix commands from within Java code, but how would this work if the command required a password.
    For example, were I to try to execute:
    ssh -Y myserver.domain.com -u Myself -p
    How would this work with supplying the password (which is prompted for after the command is sent to the shell)?
    Thanks
    Dave

    from the ssh man page under "environment variables":     SSH_ASKPASS
                  If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the
                  current terminal if it was run from a terminal.  If ssh does not
                  have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
                  are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS
                  and open an X11 window to read the passphrase.  This is particu-
                  larly useful when calling ssh from a .xsession or related
                  script.  (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to
                  redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)

  • JSP executing UNIX command

    Hi,
    I'm new to JSP. I'm just curious whether is there a utility in Java that we can use to execute unix command?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    You can try this,
    import java.io.*;
    public class test
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
    Process ps = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls -al");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ps.getInputStream()));
    BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(ps.getOutputStream()));
    bw.write("1");
    bw.flush();
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(line);
    br.close();
    bw.close();
    System.out.println(ps.exitValue());
    catch(Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e);
    Hope that helps.

  • How to execute unix command in plsql block( urgent)

    Hi All,
    i want rename the unix folder to New name on update non_employee table . So, please give me idea how to use unix command here.... Please suggest me ASAP ... Its urgent
    CREATE or REPLACE TRIGGER NON_EMPLOYEE_AftUpd_trg
    AFTER UPDATE ON NON_EMPLOYEE
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    IF :new.DIST_LIVELINK_PATH <> :old.DIST_LIVELINK_PATH THEN
    rename unixfolder1 to :new.dist_livelink_path.
    end IF;
    END;

    The solution will depend a lot on your Oracle version, which you forgot to mention ;)
    btw shouldn't that be (in pseudocode)
    rename :old.dist_livelink_path to :new.dist_livelink_pathotherwise it will always fail after the first time?
    In Unix that would require the mv command.

  • 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
    MT

    Hi 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 does one execute unix commands from within an applet?

    Greetings Folks,
    I've written a simple java applet that runs a unix command and then displays some information. The applet compiles fine, and runs perfectly from the command line on my unix system.
    However, when I point a browser at the applet from my desktop PC I get the following error as taken from the java console:
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)
    This is of course the first line in a long line of error messages. It appears that I am not able to execute a command on the unix system through my applet. I know the problem is with trying to execute a unix command since commenting it causes no error in the web browser. This is the command I'm using in java to execute the unix command:
    p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps");
    Here's the html file on the unix system:
    <html>
    <head></head>
    <body>
    <appletcode=G.class height="250" width="400">
    Your browser does not support the applet tag.
    </applet>
    </body>
    </html>
    I won't list the java code since it is compiling and working on the command line. But, if you want to see it I'll provide it.
    I've done quite a bit of research on this and it seems that a great number of people have similar problems reading or executing files through java. I have yet to find a solution to this problem.
    Here are some details about my setup:
    Server:
    HP9000 running HP/UX 11.23
    Apache Web Server 2.0.35
    Java 1.5
    Desktop PC:
    Win2K Pro
    Internet Explorer 6
    Java 1.6
    If you have a solution I would be very grateful! This problem is keeping me from writing my application!
    thanks!

  • Execute Unix command on login

    thks in advance

    {quote}Loginwindow Scripts
    Another way to run applications at login time is to launch them using a custom shell script. Mac OS X provides two options for launching scripts when the user logs in. When creating your script file, keep the following in mind:
    * The permissions for your script file should include execute privileges for the appropriate users.
    * Scripts launched by loginwindow are run as root. Therefore, you should thoroughly test your scripts before deploying them to make sure they do not adversely affect the user's system.
    *In your script, the variable $1 returns the short name of the user who is logging in.
    * Other login actions wait until your hook finishes executing. Therefore, have your script do what it needs to do quickly and then exit. {quote}
    I want the script to be run as the current user that does the login, and not as the root. I think that if its run as root, it changes nothing in the user. Does this root issue apllies to the Zerwas method?
    It depends on how Zerwas was thinking you'd implement it. If you added it to each user's login items, it should run as the user. If you create a startup item to run it, it will run as root. I'm assuming Zerwas was suggesting the former because there would be no point in wrapping the shell script in an AppleScript if you are going to turn it into a startup item.
    What you might be able to do - at least with the loginwindow script - would be to explicitly run the command as the user by making use of the fact that the user name is passed to the loginwindow script as $1. I've never used loginwindow scripts but it seems as though it should work.
    Another possibility would be to use a LaunchAgent. These are really intended to manage background processes, though, and it seems an unnecessary use of resources to load one which will only ever be run at startup.
    Can I ask why you wish to run the script every time a user logs in? Is the concern that the default will get set to something else and needs to be reset regularly?

  • Executing unix command / which user ?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to execute a mv command to rename a file before
    loading it. Full permission is given to file (chmod 777).

    OWF does not perform the task with the following message
    'mv /u02/......' : not found
    How is unix server accessed ? Which user is OWF using to access files ?
    Thanks

  • Execute unix commands from Java

    Hi,
    I have a client application running on windows. This client should connect to a unix server and check for the existence of a file and display the result as "File found/File not found". In order to connect from windows to the unix server, I used the sockets and the connection is successfully established. The second part is to check for the presence of the file in unix server. I searched in google.com and the option I found to execute a unix command from java is the "Runtime.exec()". Runtime.exec is considered as the less effective (not a favorable) one.
    Is there any other option available (other than the Runtime) to execute the unix command from java? Can you please let me know.
    Thanks a lot
    Aishu

    So, please let me know how I can execute the above unix commands without Runtime.exec()You have a client and a server.
    You want something to run on the server, not the client.
    That means that something must in fact being running on the server before the client does anything at all.
    For example telnet. Or a J2EE server application.
    So is something like that running?
    If not then there absolutely no way to do what you want, even with Runtime.exec().
    If yes then what you do depends on what is running. So Runtime.exec() would be pointless if a J2EE server was running.
