How to use su in a Korn shell script???

I'm developing a script which needs to log in to a second user id to complete its processing. When I use su, it prompts for a password. I enter the password and then it hangs at the system prompt. If I enter 'exit', it returns to the original user id and continues the script from there. How can I make it continue executing the script in the second user id?
The system that I'm using doesn't have the 'expect' command, so I have to find another way.

This cannot be done by standard Unix commands. But
this is possible by
1. Expect
2. Sudo with NOPASSWD option.
3. SSH by private/public authentication.
Among this SSH is very safe, but sudo is easy to configure and use. Try sudo.

How to use the result of simple shell script?

The shell script below retrieves the length of an audio file:
set aFile to choose file
do shell script "afinfo " & quoted form of (POSIX path of aFile) & "|grep duration"
I'm wondering, how can I copy the result to the clipboard or set the value of a variable to it?
Total newbie question. I have no idea about shell scripts - I just found the script above online.
Thank you so much!

Here:
set the clipboard to (do shell script "afinfo " & quoted form of (POSIX path of aFile) & "|grep duration")
or:
set A to do shell script "afinfo " & quoted form of (POSIX path of aFile) & "|grep duration"

Looking for input on korn shell scripts to java programs

I have a situation where there are several korn shell scripts and some manual processes using ms access to manipulate input files that will be used to pass to an applications command level commands for the purposes of updating the applications database. That being said, I am looking at creating the same as mentioned above in Java instead of ksh scripts. Mainly for the following reasons.
The vendor is going web based, using a Java enabled web server, so these korn shell scripts if converted to Java could be called from the web jsp pages, etc.
The other purpose is I see Java as a better tool for parsing the flat files and calling sql commands from the parsed data.
I admit I am more a Java programmer than a korn shell programmer.
What thoughts does this group have to using Java or should I polish my korn shell off a bit more?
Thanks in advance

Procedure call from SQL*Plus in Korn Shell Script

I am trying to excute a procedure from sqlplus, truncate_audit_table. I doesn't execute. If I do it manually
it executes. I have tried multiple ways, as below. This is inside a Korn Shell scripts that creates the procedure
and counts the aud$ table. All that works, but does not truncate the aud$ table. It does not do it, no error, just
passes it by. Does anybody know why?
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s / << EOF | tee -a ${LOG}
set feedback on
@/backup/oracle/orcl/audit/truncate_audit_table.sql
select count(*) from sys.aud$;
exec truncate_audit_table;
exit
EOF
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s / << EOF | tee -a ${LOG}
set feedback on
@/backup/oracle/orcl/audit/truncate_audit_table.sql
select count(*) from sys.aud$;
begin
truncate_audit_table;
end;
exit
EOF
This is the procedure that is being called:
create or replace procedure truncate_audit_table
as
begin
execute immediate 'truncate table sys.aud$';
end;
/

aud$ is owned by sys. You can see it does the count with or without the "\".
It creates the procedure under SYS , but does not execute it.
Truncate aud$ table...
Procedure created.
COUNT(*)
422
1 row selected.

Oracle 10g and Korn Shell Scripting

I have a table,SALES_STAGING, with 3 main columns.
Sales_Date, Sales_type,Sales_Code.
A sale is added to the table then waits until approved to be processed. The Sales_Code is 1(waiting approval). Then manually changed to 2 every 30 minutes by sales staff except on weekends. By Monday,a large queue develops. This must be changed because the queue is slowing the system. Can someone help create a Unix Korn shell script to
1) Run every 30 minutes via Crontab
2)login to the Oracle DB.
3)Count the number of records to be processed, if any.
4)Update another 'log' table with the time it ran and the records to be processed
5)if there are less than 20 add another 50 to be processed by changing the Sales_Code from 1 to 2.
This would really help out tremendously! Thank you.

Wait... Isn't this forum designed for the sharing of information? The experts here shouldn't be concerned whether the request is from a Student, Oracle newbie or Developer and should focus on the request. If you are capable of assisting then I am hoping you will out of the core respect for professionalism and the motivation to provide something of value to others. If not, don't waste my time or any one else by responding with preconceived judgments and insulting remarks as these will be reported.
Sales transactions can peak at 20,000 per hour with an average of several million thru the week. Those sales by VIP customers are immediately identified and have a priority for approvals because their balances can easily exceed $1,000,000.00. There is a pre-approval process to be introduced but until programs can be modified/tested and deployed we need a quick fix. The programming system isn't slow, it's the limited human resources approving VIP customers. My request was to keep it simple and expand on it myself to include the entire scope of our project. dbms_scheduler, although a good idea will require DBA assistance and there is no resource available. I need a simple working model to give me some direction/ideas...

SAP and Korn shell scripts

Hi,
It looks SAP default is c-shell only. I have an issue, when remote calls (rsh) to OS to run a command, k-shell script does not source the .profile. Do any one face this issue? how it was resolved.
Thanks, R

Hi,
It is a very, very long time, but as far as I remember that is an issue with the rsh.
I think the solution is not to use the Ksh on the destination.
I think there is/was a note indicating so.
For that reason SAP does recommend to use only the cshell.
Edited by: Fidel Vales on Nov 14, 2009 11:02 AM
hi again.
Check note 202227.
> In general, you can use the Korn shell (ksh) as a login shell, however, note that the implementation of the Korn shell differs among the different UNIX platforms. This has lead to problems within SAP, in particular this is the case when you start external programs from an SAP system.

Error Using dbms_scheduler to call a shell script

Hi,
I have been assigned a job of sending emails through unix utility(Mailx), based on certain activity in database.
Email needs to be sent on insert/update of a column in one of the database tables.
I am trying to use the block below to call the unix script responsible to send mails:
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job
job_name => 'TPP_SEND_EMAIL_JOB',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/opt/ENV/code/BIL/users/usrbil01/Hemz/sndmailscrpt.ksh',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=30',
enabled => true,
comments => 'Send Email on ISU update'
end;
sndmailscrpt.ksh: Script to send email is embedded within the shell script
I am getting the below error when i try to run the job using 'exec dbms_scheduler.run_job('TPP_SEND_EMAIL_JOB');'
Error:
ORA-27370: job slave failed to launch a job of type EXECUTABLE
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:accessing extjob wrapper failed with status: 2

ORA-06512: at line 1
I am not aware of any db related permissions that needs to be given, is this related to that or is there somethin i need to do for execution to be successfull
Request you to let me know the exact solution and also the steps i need to take in order to ensure successfull execution of this script.
Please also let me know if there is any other way wherein i can call a unix script from a database trigger on run time(i.e, whenever insert/update on a particular column in database)

Hemanth

Hi All,
Thank you for your inputs.
I am now pressed to explore the option of utl_mail as this dircetly sends mail from database. This is suggested as an option for my delivery now.
I am able to install utl_mail and send a mail using the block below:
begin
utl_mail.send(
sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Testing utl_mail',
message => 'The receipt of this email is checking on working of UTL_MAIL '
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('error: '||sqlerrm);
end;
The block gets executed successfully, but i have not received a mail yet, is there a table or oracle log from where i can trace the delivery status for the mai, or if the mail is successfully sent too?
I have heard from users in this forum for support of mime type "HTML", Should i pass the whole html body in the *'message'* input parameter here or can i pass a html template name with path present else where?
Please do assist me in this regard.
Regards,
Hemanth

Using launchctl command within a shell script

I have successfully installed two daemons, and I would like to be able to disable and enable them via shell scripts, called by the daemons themselves. Here is my first shell script:
#!/bin/sh
# Testing for presence of a CODEBOY file
if [ -e "/Volumes/CODEBOY/Change.txt" ]
then
osascript '/Users/praxisii/Library/Scripts/MacScript.scpt'
launchctl unload -w '/Users/praxisii/Library/LaunchDaemons/WaitDaemon.plist'
launchctl load -w '/Users/praxisii/Library/LaunchDaemons/RunDaemon.plist'
fi
The daemon works just fine, running the background, calling this script, which is waiting for me to plug in my flash drive (entitled CODEBOY). When the flash is plugged in, the applescript is called, and the first launchctl command is executed, which disables the WaitDaemon. As advertised, the .plist file is re-written with the Disabled key set to true. The next line (which is supposed to enable the RunDaemon) is never executed.
Similarly, if the launchctl line is placed before the osascript line, the applescript is never called. It is as if the shell ignores everything after a single launchctl command, which it will execute.
Any ideas or comments?

Gary:
Thank you for the link to the TN2083. Long, but very informative.
I appreciate all the other comments on this thread. I am an amateur AppleScript/UNIX scripter, and any opportunity to learn more is much appreciated.
I have completely re-worked my original launchd agent system for automatic processing of a file on a flash drive. Here is the .plist file that I now use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>RunOSAscript</string>
<key>LowPriorityIO</key>
<true/>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/bin/osascript</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>osascript</string>
<string>/Users/casdvm/Desktop/AutoFlash.scpt</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<false/>
<key>ServiceDescription</key>
<string>Runs Applescript directly</string>
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/Users/casdvm/Desktop/AutoFlashLog.txt</string>
<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>25</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
The AutoFlash.scpt is an Applescript that simply uses the Finder to check for the presence of a specific file on the flash drive. If it is there, and a certain script property has a value of 2, then it runs the AppleScript that processes the desired file on the flash drive. Once that is done, the script property is set to 0 (to prevent the processing from happening over and over again.). Once the flash drive is removed, the script property is set back to 2 in anticipation of the next time the flash drive is plugged in.
It is much simpler than the two agents I was messing with beforehand. I did indeed discover that this .plist needs to be saved in the LaunchAgents folder of my user Library (thanks again for pointing that out, Gary).
The only problem that I have involves the continuous calling of the Applescript from the launchd agent. As you can see from my .plist file, that AppleScript is called every 25 seconds. I tried setting it up using the OnDemand key, but I kept receiving a re-spooling error of some sort (I don't recall exactly; my notes are sketchy on that phase of testing), so I just decided to have it go every 25 seconds. It really doesn't matter, since I can leave the flash drive plugged in all day anyway, and it only processes the desired file once.
Thanks again for all the commentary and discussion; I am grateful for the assistance.

How to use fscommand or equivilant in action script 3

Hello every one,
I am new to action script 3, I want to burn my flash
projector file on a CD so that when it plays it opens in full
screen mode with movie size set to 100% and no scaling allowed. I
use to do it with FScommand in previous versions but it doesn't
work in flashcs3. Can someone help this poor soul how to use it in
actionscript3.
Thanks in advance.

do a search for fscommand in the Flash CS3 help and look for
a file heading called AS2.0 Migration Once you find that file, do a
search for fscommand again inside the document.

Regarding how to use the function module *control_form* in scripts

HI friends,
Can any one tell why and where do we use the function module control_form in scripts. Can you give me a small scenario how to use in scripts.

hi satish,
by using this function module we can pass the control
commands to FORM THROUGH ABAP/4 PROGRAM.
see the following example:

      land1 LIKE kna1-land1,
      END OF it_kna1.
DATA:records TYPE i,
     window TYPE i value 1.
select-options:s_kunnr for kna1-kunnr.
SELECT kunnr name1 ort01 land1 FROM kna1 INTO TABLE it_kna1

How to extract a subsstring in a shell script

Hi,
I need to extract a substring from a string in a shell script. Ideally using a regular expression, but a certain position (character n through n+4) would work in this case, too.
I am fairly familiar with regular expressions, I just don't know the syntax to use in a shell script
Thanks for any help!
Ingo

The equivalent of Bill's command in bash is:
expr $junk : '..$...$'Read the man page for expr, particularly the ':' operator. You can use any "basic" regular expressions, but not "extended" REs.
You can also use the stripping operators to remove stuff from the front or end of the string, optionally with a "greedy" match. So:
<pre>p=/usr/local/clamXav/man/man5/clamd.conf.5
echo ${p#????} # strip first 4 chars
/local/clamXav/man/man5/clamd.conf.5
echo ${p%????} # strip last 4 chars
/usr/local/clamXav/man/man5/clamd.co
echo ${p##*/} # greedy strip path components (basename)
clamd.conf.5
echo ${p%%man*} # Greedy strip from end
/usr/local/clamXav/</pre>I dare say these all work in zsh too.
