How to execute unix command from the Java program running on Windows

Hello,
I need to
1. Execute a unix shell script from a Java program running on the Windows.
2. I also need to capture the output of this shell script in my program.
Please suggest me how to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi...
Something is missing here
If you want to execute a shell script in windows that not posible unless you find or develop a unix shell script parser for windows.
But if you are trying the execute a unix shell script on a remote unix computer from your java program running on a windows platform you can do that by logging on to the UNIX terminal which is running on port 23 I think.
You can test this using telnet tool on windows
just type on command prompt
telnet <ip of the unix pc> <port number this case 23>
you should get the unix terminal. If that works you can do the same through java or you can directly conect to port 23 of that pc using sockets that way your program will be platform independant

  • Executing jar command from the java application

    Hi All,
    In my application i want to create a jar file with the existing class @ Runtime and want to download . But i tried to execute the jar command via Process.getRuntime, it throws IOException. Please guide me or give the solution

    PavithraKarthikeyan wrote:

    P.S. The jar command is only available if the user has the JDK installed so if he has only the JRE installed then you have a problem using Runtime.exec(). There are classes (java.util.jar.JarFile et al) that will allow you to jar files using Java code.

  • 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();

  • Running curl command from a java program using Runtime.getRuntime.exec

    for some reason my curl command does not run when I run it from within my java program and errors out with "https protocol not supported". This same curl command however runs fine from any directory on my red hat linux system.
    To debug the problem, I printed my curl command from the java program before calling Runtime.getRuntime.exec command and then used this o/p to run from the command line and it runs fine.
    I am not using libcurl or anything else, I am running a simple curl command as a command line utility from inside a Java program.
    Any ideas on why this might be happening?

    thanks a lot for your response. The reason why I am using curl is because I need to use certificates and keys to gain access to the internal server. So I use curl "<url> --cert <path to the certificate>" --key "<path to the key>". If you don't mid could you please tell me which version of curl you are using.
    I am using 7.15 in my system.
    Below is the code which errors out.
    public int execCurlCmd(String command)
              String s = null;
              try {
                  // run the Unix "ps -ef" command
                     Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
                     BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
                          InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
                     BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
                          InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
                     // read the output from the command
                     System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
                     while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println(s);
                     // read any errors from the attempted command
                     System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
                     while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println(s);

  • 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 run a openssl command from a java program

    Hi All
    Please suggest on how to run a openssl command from a java program.
    I am using this
    Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
    runtime.exec("openssl pkcs8 -inform der -nocrypt test.der result.pem");
    This is suppose to take test.der as input and create result.pem.
    There are no errors but the file result.pem isnt created.
    Thanks in Advance

    First off is that openssl command correct? Should it be this instead:
    openssl pkcs8 -inform der -nocrypt -in test.der -out result.pem
    Try out your openssl command within a command prompt so that you know that it works ok. I think the command line you specified waits on stdin (well it does for me).
    After that.....
    runtime.exec creates a Process object. If you do this:
    Process openssl = runtime.exec("....")
    then you can examine the return code from openssl to see the exit code - for instance if the input file does not exist then exit = 1. You can test for this with Java
    Alternatively you could get the stderr from the process and look inside it - if it is 0 length then all is good, if it has some text in there then it has likely failed. You could then throw an exception and include the stderr output in the exception messgae. You may need to experiment with this, runnig it first when openssl is happy then running it again when openssl is upset.

  • 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.

  • 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!
