�How to execute a .exe from Java applicattion?

Hi, I have to play a file song with VLC(Video Lane Client) from a Java applicattion. I know how to open an external executable, but not how to open some file with it. Thanks

I don't understand very well. It is new for me.The documentation for VLC will show you what command-line options there are for controlling the player. You can use these similarly to how you would launch an executable, since you will in fact be launching an executable. Later versions of VLC also give you a telnet interface, so you can remotely control the player via a telnet connection. Combine that with some socket programming or something like apache-commons-net TelnetClient, and you can do what you're after
I can't really help much more than that, because I can't remember what the commandline options are or anything, only that they exist!

    This is my java code
    try{
         Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
    //String str= "C:

    system32
    notepad.exe";
    //Process pp=rt.exec("C:

    SAPgui.exe");
    BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pp.getErrorStream()));
                         String line;

    hi Rajesh,
    here my complete code:
              try{
                   Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
    //               String str= "C:\Programmi\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplogon.exe";
                   String str= "C:\Programmi\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\Sapgui.exe 10.113.10.201 00";
                   //               Process pp=rt.exec("C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin\javac");
                   Process pp=rt.exec(str);
                   BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pp.getErrorStream()));
                   String line;
                   while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                   System.out.println(line);
                   }catch(Exception e){
                   System.out.println(e);
    Please note that system number is only two digit and in your case is 00.
    Another important think, i'm using the italian version of windows, so the program directory is c:\programmi, please change into c:\program files, or you can modify your code to be language indipendend using an system environment variable (if exist).
    Hope this help

  • How to execute Linux command from Java app.

    Hi all,
    Could anyone show me how to execute Linux command from Java app. For example, I have the need to execute the "ls" command from my Java app (which is running on the Linux machine), how should I write the codes?
    Thanks a lot,

    You can use "built-in" shell commands, you just need to invoke the shell and tell it to run the command. See the -c switch in the man page for your shell. But, "ls" isn't built-in anyays.
    If you use exec, you will want to set the directory with the dir argument to exec, or add it to the command or cmdarray. See the API for the variants of java.lang.Runtime.exec(). (If you're invoking it repeatedly, you can most likely modify a cmdarray more efficiently than having exec() decompose your command).
    You will also definitely want to save the returned Process and read the output from it (possibly stderr too and get an exit status). See API for java.lang.Process. Here's an example
    java.io.BufferedReader br =
    new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("/sbin/ifconfig ppp0").
    getInputStream()));
    while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {...

  • How to execute PL/SQL from Java?

    I want to execute (compile) a PL/SQL file to a database and I don't know how it can be done with Java.
    Please note that I am NOT trying to call a stored procedure. I know that can be done with CallableStatement.
    Background:
    My actual requirement is to execute PL/SQL files with error notifications. I tried Ant SQL task; but it fails to give compilation error information. I also tried another open source task called Incanto - that also not that helpful as if I execute in bulk, very hard to figureout which one throws error. Hence I decided to write my own Ant task.

    Hi,
    do u want to execute PL/SQL files? or just you want to execute the block of code?
    in the case of PL/SQL file:
    you need to read total file as StringBuffer/String and then execute.
    Block of code:
    you can directly pass the code to the java file as input and then execute.
    Ex:
                   StringBuffer queryString = new StringBuffer();
                    queryString = queryString.append("BEGIN execute immediate ' ");
              queryString = queryString.append(query);
              //queryString = queryString.append("BEGIN dbms_job.run(142);END;");
              queryString = queryString.append(" '; END; ");
              final_Query = queryString.toString();
              try {
                   System.out.println("final :   "+final_Query);
                   cstmt = con.prepareCall(final_Query);
                   System.out.println("Job is Running...");
                   new ThreadCountdownExtThread().start();
                   System.out.println("bfore execute()...............");
                   cstmt.execute();Note: if you are running pl/sql file read file and save it in a Stirng , and then do the same as above stated

    So its working fine with .exe and .bat files, but it is not working with .msi files.......can you please help me how can i execute .msi files as well??
    public class Executeexe {

  • How to execute system command from java program

    Hi all,
    I want to change directory path and then execute bash and other unix commands from a java program. When I execute them separately, it's working. Even in different try-catch block it's working but when I try to incorporate both of them in same try-catch block, I am not able to execute the commands. The change directory command works but it won't show me the effects of the bash and other commands.
    Suggestions??

    The code I am using is....
    try
    String str="cd D:\\Test";
    Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c cd
    "+str);your str string is already having cd in it but again you ar giving cd as part of this command also please check this,i will suggest you to remove cd from str
    Process p1=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c mkdir
    "+str+"\\test_folder");you should say mkdir once you change your path,but here you are saying mkdir first and then cd D:\Test(this is because of str)..please check this
    Process p2=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c bash");
    Process p3=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c echo
    himanshu>name.txt");
    catch(IOException e)
    System.err.println("Error on exec() method");
    e.printStackTrace();

  • How to execute external exe in SSIS Package

    Hi,
    I wanted to know how to execute external exe from SSIS Package can any one explain me or provide me valuable links.
    Regards ,
    Ajay

    There are few things you need to take care before executing exe from SSIS
    1. The arguments etc expected by exe should be clearly defined inside execute process task
    2. The Path where exe exists should be accessible to the account executing the package. SO you should grant account required permissions
    3. If executing from a job make sure you either define a proxy account with required permissions and configure it to run the job or give service account all access required for executing exe

    Ain't gonna happen.
    its taking more time to execute .... that's y is there any other option to execute .exe file other than Runtime.getRuntime().exec("filename");Write proper English and you may be taken more seriously.
    1) it's not "taking more time to execute", whatever that's supposed to mean.
    2) there's no other way to execute something. Not that you should every use even that way anyway
    3) whenever you start thinking of executing external programs from Java, start thinking of not using Java in the first place.

  • Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

    Dears,
    I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
    public static String runFile(String drive)
    String result = "";
    String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
    try {
    File directory = new File(drive + ":");
    File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
    file.deleteOnExit();
    FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
    fw.write(content);
    fw.close();
    // The next line is the command causing the problem
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
    BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
    String line;
    while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
    result += line;
    input.close();
    file.delete();

    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
    return result;
    The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
    I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
    EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
    EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');

    CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
    variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
    call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
    The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
    I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted

    Can anyne help?

    Dear Peter,
    You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
    I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
    The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
    The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
    where content of bb1.bat as follows:
    echo off
    vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
    The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
    Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
    variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
    call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
    Never returns
    Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.
