How to call a shell script from a java code

Hello can any one suggest me how to call a shell script from a java program that takes three parameters.
i have a shell script (msp_restore_gui) when i run this script in the command line in a RHEL5 ,SUSE10 and Debian machine it works fine .I even tested to call it from a java program and it also worked fine but when i used the same in a J2ee application where the user when clicks the restore button in a webserver this inturn sends the request to a java file named BackupManager.java where i call the shell script.But here it fails.Waiting for your suggestions.If you want i can put the code also here

yes the script is in /usr/local/mss/tools/backup and the script (msp_restore_gui) is as follows
#!/bin/sh
TIMESTAMP=`date +%d_%b_%y-%H-%M`
touch /var/backups/mss/mss_restore_"$TIMESTAMP".log
LOGFILE="/var/backups/mss/mss_restore_"$TIMESTAMP".log"
### Explode tgz file

  • How to call a shell script via ODI

    Hi,
    I need suggestion on following issues:
    1) How to call a shell script via ODI?.. I tried using OSCommand utility .inspite of the execution being successful the data is not written into the new file in the desired format. After processing new file is created in the mentioned location but its empty.
    2) I'm calling a procedure in ODI to load data into my fact. But once the fact gets loaded i want to update the log details (num of rows processed,num of rows inserted,num of rows rejected etc) in my log table. I'm planning to use a proc for updating but need to know from where can i find these details. Is there a table in work rep which gives me these info like how we get if we execute an interface.?
    Please help me out.. Its urgent
    Regards
    Surabhi

    Hello,
    Question 1 appears a little vague, please elaborate. If you're looking to capture a return value from the command execution, you will need to pipe the return value to a file, then read from there.
    The execution information is stored in the SNP_STEP_LOG table in the Work Repository. You will need to do a series of joins to retrieve the exact table that was updated. Good luck with this...

    Hi ,
    I am executing the following java code :-
    import java.io.BufferedWriter;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
    public class SetPermissions {
         * @param args
         public void runCmd()
              System.out.println("inside runCmd()");
         Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime(); //get runtime information
         try
         Process Child = r.exec("/bin/sh") ; //execute command
         System.out.println("child process created..");
         BufferedWriter outCommand = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(Child.getOutputStream()));
         outCommand.write("test.sh");
         System.out.println("command executed..");
         outCommand.flush();
         Child.waitFor(); //wait for command to complete
         System.exit(Child.exitValue());
         catch(InterruptedException e)
         { //handle waitFor failure
         System.out.println("ERROR: waitFor failure");
         System.exit(10); //exit application with exit code 10
         catch(IOException e)
         { //handle exec failure
         System.out.println("ERROR: exec failure"+e);
         System.exit(11); //exit application with exit code 11
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              SetPermissions setPer=new SetPermissions();
              setPer.runCmd();
    The shell script test.sh is changing the access permissions for a particular folder on Unix server. The code is not exiting , and the acces permissions on the folder are also not changing.
    If I execute the shell script directly , the access permissions gets changed on the folder. Please let me know the possible cause for this.

  • Call a shell script from ActiveSync form?

    Hi,
    I need to call a shell script from an ActiveSync form . How can I do this.
    I want to execute shell script at time of account create, update, delete.
    Thanks

    I would probably accomplish this by calling the shell script via java, and invoking the java code via xpress code in your ActiveSync form.

  • How to run unix shell script from java web applet

    hi all
    i have created one java applet. my apache web server is on unix server.
    i have created one shell script in same directory where my .class and .htm files reside...
    how to run this shell script from applet? it should search this .sh file on server and not on the client browser machine...
    thanks in advance

    I suppose you could make the shell script into a CGI, configure the server to execute CGIs, and then make the applet open the URL of that CGI.

  • Calling a shell script from ODI tool OS command

    hi,
    I am trying to call a shell script from the ODI tool OS command with the following command "sh /Oracle/ODI/backlog.sh"
    where "backlog.sh" is the name of the shell script. I am redirecting the output of the script to a file called "backlog.out" and this part is done in the script itself.The ODI session is successful and the output file i.e "backlog.out" gets created in the specified location but the output of the script doesnot get written to this output file.Is this the right way of calling the shell script using ODI OS command.

    Hi-
    It seems there is no input parameters for your script. Please check your script file needs any input parameters and try the syntax below:
    path/scriptname.sh input1 input2
    where input1 and 2 are input parameters for the script file which you are calling.
    Hope this will work for you.
    Thanks,

  • Can i call unix shell script from B2B callout.

    Hi,
    We had a requirement to invoke a unix shell script from B2B callout implemented class. Here is the code in implementation class:

    out.write(str);

    output.add(cmOut);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    throw new CalloutDomainException(e);
    We were able to execute the unix shell script from standalone java class with same code. But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.
    Is it possible to invoke unix shell script from B2B callout?
    Please give inputs.
    Regards,

    Though it's not a good idea to invoke shell scripts from java callout but technically it will work.
    But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.What is not working as expected? Any error in the log (server-diagnostic.log or server.out)?
