How to launch a DOS command with process

When I tried to create a process which launch a DOS command, I have a big exception with CreateProcess error=2.
I just would like to make a "cd directory"
Please help!!!

Go back to the API documentation and look for the version of Runtime.exec() that allows you to specify the working directory. Even if you could run a task that executed "cd something" that would be pointless, since it would only change the current directory of that task.

How to execute dir dos command in Runtime Execution

Hi All,
Does anybody know how to execute the dir command in DOS in the runtime execution
for example,
when we open the command prompt,
c:\Documents and Settings\java> e:
e:\cd java
e:\dir *.*
how we can list the directory in runtime execution?

Process childProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C dir *.*");or try with
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("cmd /C dir *.*");
Process childProcess = pb.start();
NOTE: We can use the ProcessBuilder class from J2SE 5.0+.
for further reference check the below link
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html?page=3
and don't forget to go through API documentation for java.lang package
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html
and if you want to implement it through Java which provides you a list of Files & directories in the present directory here is an example of such code snippet REF:as insisted by my fellow poster.
File file = new File("<present_directory_path>");
if(file.isDirectory()){
   String fileNames[] = file.list();
        for(String fileName:fileNames)
           System.out.println(fileName);
fileNames = null;
        or for detailed info use
         File files[] = file.listFiles();
         for(File fileEntity:files)
            System.out.println("FILENAME:"+fileEntity.getName+",IS FOLDER:"+fileEntity.isFolder()+",ABSOLUTE PATH:"+fileEntity.toString()+"FILE SIZE:"+fileEntity.length());
         files = null;
}and please do not forget to go through File API Documentation provided as recommended by my fellow poster.
hope this might help :)

first of all get the environment variable for the c:\windows\system32 direcotry for any of the windows
you can use get variable from the ora env package
now cancat the system32 variable with the calc.exe string

How to run multiple DOS commands from a single Webutil Client_Host session?

Hello all,
I have a requirement where I need to create an interface with SVN from Forms for basic checkin-checkout of files.
So, I've been trying to use webutil client_host to open a command line session and issue svn commands.
For svn, sometimes I need to give multiple commands like change to a particular directory and then run an svn command.
But client_host takes in only one command at a time and I'm unable to issue a series of DOS commands to perform
a particular task.
Is there a way to do this?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

First your original question... You can put more than one DOS command on a single line, simply separate each command with an ampersand (&). For example:
mkdir c:\abc & cd abc & dir*
Regarding your concerns about performance, well that would depend on exactly what you mean. Using CLIENT_HOST (or HOST on the server) simply opens a shell (DOS in this case) then passes your command to it. The performance of performing this action really isn't measurable. Basically you are just pressing a button and you should get a near immediate action. As for the performance of executing each command, that has nothing to do with Forms. Once the command is passed to the shell, the rest is a function of the shell and whatever command you passed.
Having said that, if you were to write something sloppy like a loop (in pl/sql) which called CLIENT_HOST lots of times repeatedly, then yes there would be a performance problem because the pushing of the button will cause an exchange to and from the server and each cycle in the loop will do the same.
So the answer to how performance is impacted will depend on what exactly you need to accomplish. If it is a single call to CLIENT_HOST, this should be fine.

How to execute MS DOS command through Java program???

Dear Sir,
I want to run a MS-DOS command through my Java program. I have tried "Dir" command but no other command which takes command line args doesn't work at all. Please help.
import java.io.*;
class CommandPrompt
     public static void main(String[] args)
          try
               File file = new File("C:/Temp/Java");
               String[] cmd = {"command.com","/c","md folder"};
               String[] envp = {""};
               Process m;
               String s = "";
               m = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd,null,file);
               BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(m.getInputStream()));
               while ((s = buf.readLine())!=null)
                    System.out.println(s);
          catch (Exception ex)
               System.out.println("Exception is "+ex);
               ex.printStackTrace();

1. This forum is for Swing-related issues only. This question should be posted to the "Java Programming" forum.
2. Please enclose your sample code in code blocks; it's much easier to read that way. See here for how it's done: http://forum.java.sun.com/faq.jsp#messageformat
3. Please provide more information, like what error messages you got and what OS you're running. For instance, if you're running WinXP, Win2k or NT4, your command processor should be "cmd.exe", not "command.com". When I made that change, your program worked for me.

How can you run a command with elevated rights on a remote server with invoke-command ?

I am trying to run a script on a remote server with invoke-command. The script is starting and is running fine, but the problem is that it should be running with elevated rights on the remote server. On the server where I start the invoke-command, my account has the necessary rights.
The server were I launch the invoke-command is a W2K8 R2. The remote box is a W2K3 with powershell v2.0 installed.
When I launch the script on the remote-box from the command line, I don't get the access denied's.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks in advance

The script that I want to run is to install the windows updates. I get an access denied on the download of the updates.
When I execute the script on an W2K8 box, (not remotely) and I run it with non-elevated rights, I get the same error.
The script is running fine when it is launched on W2K3 box locally with a domain account that has local admin rights, or on a W2K8 R2 server with a domain account that has local admin rights, but with elevated rights.
Thanks in advance for your help.

HOW DO I RUN DOS COMMANDS ON JAVA

I SWEAR, I'LL PAY YA IF YOU HELP ME!!!
Hi, this is the thing:
have you ever run the "time" command on a DOS console?? if you have, you know that it shows the current time, and lets you set a new time.
well, i need to make a java program to open a DOS console and execute the command, and making it able to write in information on the console so it sets a new time.
MY PURPOSE IS NOT JUST WATCHING THE CURRENT TIME!! so please don't tell me to use System.getCurrentTimeMillis() or something like that; i explicitly need to run that DOS command. what's the Java code to do it??
thank you!! and please attach your account # so you get a $50 deposit by the end of the week
thank you!!

Thanks a lot, you all guys, but i don't know what's with this thing.... it always throws an IOException, with the following exception stack trace:
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: temp.bat error=0
        at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method)
        at java.lang.Win32Process.<init>(Win32Process.java:63)
        at java.lang.Runtime.execInternal(Native Method)
        at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:550)
        at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:416)
        at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:358)
        at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:322)
        at Tarea.main(Tarea.java:15)and it will come out the same shit over and over. The above case was thrown by the line Runtime.getRuntime().exec("temp.bat") where temp.bat is a file where the only thing written in it is the word "time". and you can change the string parameter of the method exec, and thats what will change in the stack trace above.
I also tried "cmd", "command", and "command.com". With the last one, it opens the command.com application but it freezes and does nothing. With the other two, appears the same old shit from above.
Please help me!!
Thank you...

How to sync TCP/IP command with data

Hello. I am trying to catch a TCP/PI data and write it to the file. I am using the TCP Communicator example as the base. My goal is to send a command and write to the file the response from the host. Few challenges. I can send multiple commands, but I only want to write to file after specific one and only once. It is the reason I have some logic in the send loop to enable write block. My problem is, by the time data comes, my enable changes value, so I only write the data that was on the bus from previous command. Or, I keep witing to file ove r and over.
What is the best way to sync send a command and wait for the result for this command? Should I just use case structure since I do not need to listen host all the time, only after I sent commands.

Do you have control over the data on both ends of the connection? If so, create a simple messaging protocol that will help you keep things in sync and give you the ability to recognize the commands. The simplest protocol would be to define your data packets to contain a message header and data. The message header would contain a message identifier identifier and the message data length. The header should be fixed length. This allows you to easily read the header and the data. The data will be whatever you need for each message type. The header message length will let you know how much data to read. Using this simple protocol the message reading would be very simple. Since each message will contain an identifier you can easily chose how to process the message and what actions you take. If you need to match responses with specific commands you could put a command sequence number in the message header. This would allow you to match the response with the specific command. You would need to include the command sequence number in the response.
If you don't have control over the other side of the connection you will need to get the message format the device uses. That will dictate how to process the messages.
Also, if your system is always a command/response system you do not have to have the read and write in separate tasks. You can send the command and wait for the response immediately afterward. You would not send the next command until you get a reposes. If you know you won't get a response for a specific command you would skip the read.

How to Launch a "setup.exe" with LabVIEW app? No luck with System Exec.vi

I've got an application that I'm trying to update with a separate LabVIEW application (the "Updater"). It's the "Check for Updates" capability you see on other major apps.
Here's the glitch: When the Updater tries to launch "setup.exe" using "System Exec.vi", The installer seems to catch the attempt and pops a dialog titled "Windws XP Setup" saying "Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system components". The install does not begin and the installer closes (if it was ever open!).
Running the same installer by double-clicking the "setup.exe" file from windows runs just fine.
Here's the question: "How can a LabView app launch an installer?"

Could you show the code.
Look at the path where you want to run the code.

How do I use voice commands with CC on my Mac?

Howdy all! Just made the switch to Adobe from Final Cut 7. Overall, I'm digging it a bunch.
However, there's one aspect of CC on my Mac that's vexing me.
As you may know, there is speech recognition / voice command software built in to Mountain Lion (it's been around for years, and many iterations of OSX). With this software, you can make any number of custom voice commands for another piece of software. For instance, in FCP 7, I can program the keystroke "l" (play track) to respond to the voice command, "Forward." (It can be any word or phrase you type in.) This works with other programs as well.
All well and good, and pretty dang cool. However, I can't make any voice commands work with any of the CC software (I've tried Premiere and Media Encoder so far). I'm curious if anyone else has had any luck, or, perhaps, that the ported interface from Windows to Mac has some layer of code that (probably inadvertantly) blocks voice commands from working with CC on a Mac.
Anyone got any tips? Tricks? Confirmation that this simply won't work on a Mac? (If the last, I'd love to know the "why" as well.)
Thanks!
Best,
Ian
