1. How can I open a command line window from the Java code?
2. How to run commands on it?

How to hide the command line arguments from solaris process

Hi All,
When I execute a JAR application from a java file using the Runtime.getRuntime, the command line arguments (user ID and Password details) which I passed for executing the application displayed on Solaris process (ps -ef).
Could anybody please help me, how can I hide either the process or the command line arguments from the Solaris process?
I cannot pass any asterix or any special character in place of password, because the executing application doesn't have any functionality to retreive the password which send as asterix characters.
Please help me
SumodeV

Thanks for all the response.
I have created a design and implement the functionality which executes the JAR application in Solaris environment without showing any details in the process details.
I have used the Java Reflection method, which invokes the JAR application. I am sharing the details here for all those who looking for it.
1, Inside the Customer application [Jar File is running for it], collect the necessary session details [Using System.get property method]
2, Create an independent Java file, which should be used to invoke the JAR application
3, Create the ProcessBuilder object and use a command - execute the Java file [a wrapper code] using normal Java command
4, Pass the necessary session details to the ProcessBuilder using the environment() function.
5. Collect the environment values in the independent Java file (Which was invoked by ProcessBuilder) and set details for its environment using System.setProperty.
6, Use reflection technique to invoke the JAR plugin [which you want to run]. You can use the standard Java functionality to read the MANIFEST file of JAR and load the main class using URLClassLoader.
7, Invoke the main method of the JAR file, which run the JAR application in Solaris window
This solution will make sure that the process cannot display any session details in the Solaris Environment.
Note: Use String[] array while create the command. Otherwise the JAR application cannot pop-up.

How to run a command line argument

i want to run a command line argument, say for eg......i want to execute the "dir" command on the dos prompt and capture the output.
how can i do this.
actually i want to capture the output of the ping command and write it to a file. can any body plsssssss help

This command runs a ping to "address" and writes the output back to the command line. To capture it, just put strings into an array or do whatever you want with it. If you want to wait until the program completes before reading its input, use p.waitFor().
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ping " + address);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String currLine = null;
while((currLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("ping: " + currLine);

Hi there...I would like to know how do you a program using the command line in oracle9i JDeveloper...coz my program is processing the input typed from the user.How do you run in oracle9i Jdeveloper.

If you mean as commandline parameter, then you need to modify your runtime configuration for the project.

How to run ADF command-line test-client on standalone weblogic host

I have followed the steps to create a test client for the ADF application. In used the following link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b25947/bcquerying007.htm
The above link does not talk about how to setup the environment where the standalone weblogic is installed to be able to run the test client.
I can run it in the jdeveloper environment.
I can also run from the command line on the development host, by cut-paste the command from the jdeveloper output log tab.
I am trying to run this client on the machine where we have a weblogic installed (standalone) for testing. We can run our ADF application from the browser with no issues. We want to automate and run some testing related to the ADF model (non-viewcontroller part) from the command line on this test stage.
Which/Where are the ADF libraries?
How can I add our application jar deployed on the weblogic (ear file) to the CLASSPATH?
What other libraries ADF/Weblogic do I need for the command line test client?
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help.

How to run a command line for every folder in a share

I'm trying to use Robocopy to merge two user home directories shares from two different servers to a new server, but the only problem is that I can't use the /purge to mirror deletes because it will delete the other servers stuff (since one server's stuff
doesn't exist on the other one currently).
But I'm thinking if someone I could enumerate the folder names from the users$ share on each server, and add it to both path statements in the commands below, i could add purge since then it would be running individually per user folder, rather than at the
user level below.
robocopy "\\CurrentServer1\users$" "F:\Users" /E /B /COPY:DATSOU /R:1 /W:1 /MT /LOG:"C:\RobocopyLogs\MirrorUsers1.txt"
robocopy "\\CurrentServer2\users$" "F:\Users" /E /B /COPY:DATSOU /R:1 /W:1 /MT /LOG:"C:\RobocopyLogs\MirrorUsers2.txt
What I'm hoping is that there's some scripting genius out there who could tell me how to use a batch or vbscript to save a LOT of time. If not, I'm doing this all by hand for hundreds of users :(
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Mike and Bill are right on with your approach however, to show you why your code is not working I removed all "Smart Quotes" in favor of the following.
Refrain from commenting every line. It makes the script impossible to follow.
$hostname='hostname'
$migrationdata='c:\migrate\IPDATA.txt'
$ip=Select-String -Path C:\migrate\IPDATA.txt -Pattern $hostname
$ip = $ip.Substring(35)
$ip = $ip.Trim()
$dns='10.10.1.10','10.10.1.11'
$gateway='10.10.4.1'
$netmask='255.255.252.0'
$dnsdomain='new.domain.local'
$msg='We will be using the following information for the new IP stack Hostname:{0}, IP address {1} Default Gateway: {2} DNS Servers: {4} DNS Suffix: {5}'
Write-Output ($msg -f $hostname,$Ip,$Gateway,$DNS,$DNSdomain)
$Config=Read-Host 'Please press enter if this is correct, and we will apply this configuration. or CTRL-C to exit'
#configure the Ip stack
$Interface = Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapterconfiguration -filter 'IPEnabled=True'
$Interface.EnableStatic($ip, $netmask)
$Interface.SetGateways($Gateway, 1)
$Interface.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($dns)
$Interface.SetDNSDomain($dnsdomain)
$Interface.SetDynamicDNSRegistration($true)
#Show the user the new IP configuration
ipconfig /allcompartments /all
$Config = Read-Host 'We have reconfigured the NIC. Does the IP configuration for the "Local Area Connection" look right? Press enter to continue to join the domain, or CTRL-C to exit'
Use sample white space to make code readable.
Much of this code does not make sense. You should be using DHCP to set all workstations and most servers with the exception of Domain Controllers.
It will be faster to do this with PowerShell since you do not know batch. Your attempt is not even close.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to hide RMAN command line args from "ps -ef" command?

Hi there
This is not RMAN question per say but it is related to my RMAN script. Part of this RMAN script is below:
rman target / catalog ${RMANID}/${RMANPW}@${RMANSID} log=${TMPFILE} << EOF
While the script is running, if I issue "ps -ef | grep rman" command (from my own user id or as 'oracle' user), I see following:
oracle 32522 32492 36 15:32 pts/1
00:00:01 rman target / catalog rman/rman2013@rmancat log=/tmp/oratmp32492
Is there a way to hide the values of the variables (Id, Pwd, SID) from the "ps -ef" command?
If not, any other an alternates?
Best regards

Ummm....Oracle Forms is a foreground runtime kind of thing. What you want is a database procedure (or an OS utility - it depends on what sort of processing you want to do in the background).

How to pass a command line argument to the sequence?

Hi,
My GUI is written in VB.NET. I can read the command line argument in the GUI, using: Me.AxApplicationMgr.CommandLineArguments(). But I don't know how to pass it on to my sequence file which the GUI invokes. How do I read the command line argument from the sequence file?
My purpose, is to have the same basic sequence execute different subsequences depending on starting conditions...
I am using TestStand 3.0 with a VB.NET GUI, on Windows XP.
I'd appreciate any help on the subject.
Alan

Hi Alan,
One obvious way would be to add parameter(s) to the MainSequence and then modify the process model sequence file to use the new parameter(s) in the step "MainSequence Callback" in either Single Pass or Test UUTs but I wouldn't recommend this approach.
The sequence file to be run via the entry point can be found at "RunState.ProcessModelClient" and the lookup string to the MainSequence would be "RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.Seq["MainSequence"] or .Seq[0] .
Therefore you could quite easy use the SetVal method to setup a Local variable in the MainSequence of your Sequence File to receive the command line string.
Also you could do this without altering the Process Model Sequence File by using the Callback Sequence ProcessSetup in your Sequence File.
As an example.
You have a string in your Locals of MainSequence called CmdLineStr.
If you add the Callback Sequence ProcessSetup to your SequenceFile, then add an ActiveX Automation Adapter step which is setup for a PropertyObject and the reference is RunState.Caller.RunState.ProcessModel.Data.Seq[0].Locals.CmdLineStr.
There is an extra RunState.Caller to the lookup string, that's because I am doing the work in a SubSequence of Entry Point Sequence.
The method to use is SetValString and the parameters of the PropertyObject will be
lookupString = ""
options = 0 or 1
newValue = where evey you have stored you command line string.
Now when you run your sequence file you will find that the Locals.CmdLineStr will contain your parameter string.
Hope this is of help to you.

Command line windows

Hi,
I am using procedures from for example: ctx_ddl, ctx_doc packages (by my program in Java - swing, jdbc). I have problem with command line windows in Windows XP, because they appear when I execute some procedures. What should I do to hide these windows?

Running a command line in Java

Dear all,
I have a question, I need to run a command line in a Java program. The commands line is the next:
cas.exe -i file1
I have been seeing in internet and I have tried:
Process ls_proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start D:\\cas>cas.exe -i file1");
it start the window where the cas folder is... but it dont run the commands line : cass.exe -i file1 :(
Somebody can help me, please??
Andrea

try running it like this.
Process ls_proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start D:\\cas>cas.exe -i file1" +"\n");
if that does not work put this underneath the original.
ls_proc.newLine();
or look into the ProcessBuilder class in java.lang.
