How to run unix shell script from java web applet

hi all
i have created one java applet. my apache web server is on unix server.
i have created one shell script in same directory where my .class and .htm files reside...
how to run this shell script from applet? it should search this .sh file on server and not on the client browser machine...
thanks in advance

I suppose you could make the shell script into a CGI, configure the server to execute CGIs, and then make the applet open the URL of that CGI.

Error while executing unix shell script from java program

Hi All,
I am trying to execute unix shell script from a java program using Runtime.execute() method by passing script name and additional arguments.
Code snippet :
Java Class :
try{
     String fileName ="test.ksh";
     String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
     String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
     int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
     sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Test.ksh
export -- application realated paths..
nohup abc.exe 1> test.log 2>&1;
$1
exit.By running the above java class , i am getting exit Value: 139 and log file test.log of 0 bytes.
when i am running the same command (/usr/bin/ksh test.ksh satish) manually, it's calling abc.exe file successfully
and able generate the logs properly.
Pls let us know where exactly i am stuck..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Satish

Hi Sabre,
As per the guidelines provided by the article, i had done below changes..
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader iStreamReader = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
String line = null;
try{
String fileName ="test.ksh";
String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
is = proc.getErrorStream();
iStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
bReader = new BufferedReader(iStreamReader);
System.out.println("<ERROR>");
while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Error is : "+line);
System.out.println("</ERROR>");
int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Now , it's showing something like..
<ERROR>
</ERROR>

Run Unix command / Run Unix shell script from Forms9i

Hi,
I have a requirement to run Unix command and Unix shell scripts from Forms9i.
I know HOST command cannot be used directly. I also know we can create some JAVA stored procedure to perform the task, but I don't want to create any JAVA stored procedure as there are some security concerns.
Please point me towards any other way to achieve the same.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kumar

There is no reason why HOST can't be used. This is what it is for. As for using Java, it is not a stored procedure that you would be using, it would be imported Java (imported into the form).
The best way to use the HOST command is to call a script (.sh) rather than calling a Unix command directly. This is because HOST will not pick up environment variables set at the system level. So the script would first need to set the necessary environment variables then call the desired commands.

How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?

Hello Oracle People,
I'd like to run a shell script from the Scheduler in my 10g database.
Right now it is a simple shell script.
Eventually it will wrap RMAN commands to back up my DB.
I wrote a simple pl/sql script to create a job:
-- cr_job10.sql
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_backup_job',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/h/oracle/scripts/tst.sh',
start_date => '06-SEP-07 5.33.00PM US/Pacific',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
end_date => '08-SEP-07 4.00.00PM US/Pacific',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'My Backup Job');
END;
I see no errors when I run the above procedure.
I checked DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and the job is in there.
The scheduler, though, errors out with an error which I see in a trace file:
/h/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump/orcl_j000_22396.trc

I googled on this:

Google returned only 1 hit.
There, I see some evidence that I need to configure something inside
of Oracle to run shell scripts from the scheduler, but possibly just
for machines running windows. I'm running Solaris.
Do any of you know what I need to configure inside of Oracle to
run shell scripts from the scheduler?
-Owen

Hello people,
I should have added this bit of information:
"The script runs fine from oracle's crontab."
"The script runs fine from a shell owned by oracle."
I'm getting responses telling me to check my env variables and permissions
which would be helpful to a UNIX novice.
I have a feeling that no one is using the scheduler to run RMAN scripts.
Tim Hall suggested I take a close look at these files:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora

-rwsr-x--- 1 rman dba 34468 Sep 21 2006 /h/oracle/product/10r2/bin/extproc

Here is a demo of rman running his script:
bash sol root /h/oracle/product/10r2/bin 35 # su - rman

$
$
$ ls

$
$ cat scripts/tst.sh
#! /bin/sh

$
$
$ cat /tmp/tst.sh.out.txt
Fri Sep 7 16:31:23 PDT 2007
$
$ rm /tmp/tst.sh.out.txt
$
I am focused on this error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
And I am focused on this exit code: 274662
What does 274662 mean?
If the Scheduler gives me an error like "274662" rather than some English,
it's obvious to me the Scheduler is a POS and I should not use it.
And of course,
If I cannot run RMAN from Oracle Scheduler, I'll use cron.

How to run a shell script from the GUI?

This is probably a dumb question...
How do I run a shell script from the GUI? I've been told to double click it but when I do, it opens as a text file.

The behavior you describe is that used by the KDE and GNOME desktops of Linux.
Under OS X, if you make a script then mark it as executable, double-clicking on it in the Finder will not execute it. Actually, it uses a rather complex algorithm ([summarized here|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/macos-qna/macos-x-qa-2.html]) to determine what to do with it. This is implemented in Mac OS X' LaunchServices framework (incidentally, the associations are cached in /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple/LaunchServices*.csstore). You can read the details in the developer docs about LaunchServices.
Anyway, in short, the suffix '.command' is a built-in type in the LaunchServices network that identifies a shell script. If you run
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -dump
... it will tell you as much.

Running UNIX shell scripts from a Java app

It is possible, but it kinda defeats the purpose of shell scripts no?

Error while trying to execute a unix shell script from java program

Hi
I have written a program to execute a unix shell script in a remote machine. I am using J2ssh libraries to estabilish the session connection with the remote box.The program is successfully able to connect and authenticate with the box.
The runtime .exec() is been implemented to execute the shell script.I have given below the code snippet.
try {
     File file_location = new File("/usr/bin/");
     String file_location1 = "/opt/app/Hyperion/scripts/daily";
     String a_mib_name = "test.sh";
     String cmd[] = new String[] {"/usr/bin/bash", file_location1, a_mib_name};
     Runtime rtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p = rtime.exec(cmd, null, file_location);
System.out.println( "Connected to the server1" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = br.readLine();
while(line !=null)
System.out.println(line);
line = br.readLine();
br.close();
p.getErrorStream ().close ();
p.getOutputStream().close();
int retVal = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("wait " + retVal);
//session.executeCommand("ls");
catch (IOException ex) {
I get an error message
Connected to the server

I am sure of the file path where the bash.sh and test.sh are located.
Am i missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to run the perl script from java ?

Hi , I need to run the pearl script from the server and to get the result of the script thro' java using SSH
Is there any 3rd party SSH API in java ?
Please help me out
thanks in advance
karthik

This seems like a very strange thing to want to do.
What is the perl script doing?
Do other programs (not some shell script) access this server-side perl script from a different machine?
If so how do they do it?
What currently triggers the perl script to execute?
What currently handles the output from the perl script?
If you can answer these questions (and understand the answers) you should be able to come up with a different approach to this.
You do not really want to call a remote perl script from a Java program, you want to achieve the effect you think that would have if you could do it.
So find the answers to the above questions, write them on 3" x 5" cards and lay them out on your desk.
What flow of control needs to happen? Which piece of code needs to produce or consume which piece of data?
If that fails, ask you self or who ever is making you do this what are the use-cases?
If you do not know what use-cases are or do not understand them well enough try reading
Use Case Modeling (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) by Kurt Bittner and Ian Spence (Paperback - Aug 30, 2002)
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-7908514-4043267?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=use+cases&x=0&y=0
It is a short and easy to read book on the subject and also one of the best.
You MUST understand WHAT you are trying to achieve before you can decide HOW you are going to achieve it.

How to run Unix Shell Scripts

I hope someone knows Unix better me. I created a shell script to run some ap comp sci classes, and whenever I want to run the script, I'm forced to type:
"./runMBS", while I want to just type "runMBS". Any suggestions will be nice.
Thanks

If you only type the name of a command (or script) the Unix shell only looks for those commands in the directories specified in the $PATH variable. If you provide a full or partial path to the command then the shell will run the command at that location... that's why including "./" in front of your shell script works... it tells the shell to run the command in the current directory (ie "./").
You can either:
- move your shell script to one of the directories specified in your $PATH variable
or
- add the directory containing your shell script to your $PATH
To modify the $PATH so that it includes the directory your script resides in use something like this in your .bash_profile:
<pre>
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/scriptdir
export PATH
</pre>
Although it's possible to include "./" in your PATH, it's not advisable and can present security problems. Read this explanation for more information.

show errorsI can call runCmd directly from SQLPlus using an Oracle stored procedure and it runs like expected. I can see the returned output using dbms_java.set_output(1000000).
But when I call cmdTest from SQLPlus using an Oracle stored procecdure it just hangs forever and I have to kill the session.
Is there something I am missing in the cmdTest method?

Jimmy,
If you haven't already seen it, I think the following article may be of help:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
Also a "finally" block should not contain a "return" statement:

Good Luck,
