How to Execute shell commands in OSB

Team,
My Requirement:
I have two sftp servers name ServerA and ServerB. Need to copy files from ServerA and place it on ServerB and change the file permissions to 777 after placing the files.
The user i am connecting to ServerB has the access to override file permissions.
Steps
1. With help of FTP adapter in OSB I am reading files from ServerA and writing on to ServerB -- Completed and is working.
2. How to override file permissions after placing the file ????? -- Yet to implement.
Please suggest me how can i accomodate 2nd step.
Thanks,
Suman V.

If by "execute shell commands" you mean actually
running a shell process (as opposed to just forking
and executing specified programs) then I'd advise
against it. The last thing you want is for the
clients to be running arbitrary commands on the
server. You don't want to make it possible for the
client to run "rm -fr /" on your server.Right.
I was assuming (perhaps with more optimism than is really warranted) that the OP was going to be in complete control of which commands were executed--that there'd be a small, fixed set in response to certain user actions.

Executing shell commands from Java.

I want to execute shell commands in Java using the Runtime.exec( String ) method.
The method works fine under Linux OS, but under Windows '98 the method didn't work at all!
For example the following call: Runtime.exec( "dir" ) throws an exception showing that the command was not completed. If I replace dir with ls under Linux all is good. What is the problem with the Microsoft Windows '98 ? Is there any solution at my problem ?!
thx in advance!

hey JSarmis,
You can help me... "ls" doesn't work for me on linux.. using Runtime.exec, some commands work, others don't... you may hold the key to what i need? How did u get "ls" to work?

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) {...

Execute Shell command in Panel SDK Mac

Hi,
I´d like to execute the following task with a Panel:
• render the active sequence
• when finished send the output video file to another application using Apple Script
The Panel SDK Examples are a great start. So the missing part is, how can I send a shell command that executes an AppleScript?
In the ExtendScript Toolkit I found a function that looks promising. But executing this script only pops up an alert window saying "failed". Here´s the code:
var test = UIAutomationSupport.helper.executeConsoleCommand("ls -l");
alert(test);
So does Premiere has an equivalent function like system.callSystem() in After Effects?
Thanks,
Thomas

Bruce, thanks for your support!
For those who are interested what bbb_999 refers to, here is how you can execute a shell command (in the example I use "osascript" to launch an AppleScript file):
In your html file you simply write these simple lines of code
<script type="text/javascript">
    function executeShellCommand(){
          var result = window.cep.process.createProcess('/usr/bin/osascript','/Users/myUserName/Desktop/test.scp t');
          alert(result.data+" "+result.err);
</script>
The first argument of createProcess() is the path to the shell tool.
That´s all. Hope this helps others.

Execute shell command from within pascal code

Hello there,
I am trying to execute a shell command from within my pascal code. I use XCode together with FreePascal. I have tried something like:
exec ('program', 'options');
adding the 'Dos' unit to the Uses clause of my program.
Thus, e.g.,
exec ('mkdir', '/A')
to create a directory with the name 'A'.
However, my attempts so far were unsuccessful. Can anyone help me on this, and perhaps provide a simple example of how to do it right?
Thank you in advance,
Shane

In the mean time, I found the problem myself. I am just posting the solution here for anyone that is interested. My original solution was correct, in that the 'Dos' Unit must be added, and that the right command is 'exec'. There was however a problem with the correct path to the program that I wanted to invoke. In the shell, this program was accessible from anywhere. However, in the 'exec' command, the full path to the program must be given. Since I am not a Unix expert, I don't know the reason for this.
So, in summary, the solution is:
Uses Dos;
begin
exec ('full path to program', 'program options');
e.g.: exec ('/bin/sh', '/run.sh') to process the commands in the file /run.sh
end
Hope this may be of help to anyone else.

How to execute dos command in Java program?

In Perl, it has System(command) to call dos command.
Does java have this thing?
or any other way to execute dos command in java program?
Because i must call javacto compile a file when the user inputed a java file name.

Look in the Runtime class, it is implemented using the Singleton design pattern so you have to use the static method getRuntime to get its only instance, on that instance you can invoke methods like
exec(String command) that will execute that command in a dos shell.

Gerrit.

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.
