Hi kunal,
1. probably ur basis team might be able to help u.
2. even if we have authorisations thru sap
   to run external os command,
   the actual OS user on application server
   must have the right for it
   and access/write/read/modify
   for the files (provided thru the command)
   in question.
3. Due to this , the systems gives the message
   of SECURITY RISK.

UNIX command in ABAP code

Hi All,
I need to use unix command (MOVE) in ABAP code for transfering a file from one directory to another directory.
Can any one help with how to used unix commands in ABAP?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hemendra

The recommended approach always used to be to use transaction SM69 to define a "soft" command name to the operating system command so that it could be configured to work across Windows, Unix etc. For example:
Command name OS Type OS command Parameters for operating system command
Z_FILE_MOVE SunOS Customer mv ? ?
You can then call function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE (quite well documented) to actually perform the command passing in the appropriate number of parameters.

Executing Unix Commands

Hi
I realise there is a Runtime class to help execute Unix commands from within Java code, but how would this work if the command required a password.
For example, were I to try to execute:
ssh -Y myserver.domain.com -u Myself -p
How would this work with supplying the password (which is prompted for after the command is sent to the shell)?
Thanks
Dave

from the ssh man page under "environment variables":     SSH_ASKPASS
              If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the
              current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh does not
              have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
              are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS
              and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particu-
              larly useful when calling ssh from a .xsession or related
              script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to
              redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)

JSP executing UNIX command

Hi,
I'm new to JSP. I'm just curious whether is there a utility in Java that we can use to execute unix command?
thanks.

Hi,
You can try this,
import java.io.*;
public class test
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Process ps = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls -al");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ps.getInputStream()));
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(ps.getOutputStream()));
bw.write("1");
bw.flush();
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
br.close();
bw.close();
System.out.println(ps.exitValue());
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
Hope that helps.

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

Execute Unix command on login

Hello, is it possible to execute a unix command on user login?
I want that every time a user login on a mac at my company, a unix command be executed.
Is this case, this is the command: defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset "UTF-8"
thks in advance

{quote}Loginwindow Scripts
Another way to run applications at login time is to launch them using a custom shell script. Mac OS X provides two options for launching scripts when the user logs in. When creating your script file, keep the following in mind:
* The permissions for your script file should include execute privileges for the appropriate users.
* Scripts launched by loginwindow are run as root. Therefore, you should thoroughly test your scripts before deploying them to make sure they do not adversely affect the user's system.
*In your script, the variable $1 returns the short name of the user who is logging in.
* Other login actions wait until your hook finishes executing. Therefore, have your script do what it needs to do quickly and then exit. {quote}
I want the script to be run as the current user that does the login, and not as the root. I think that if its run as root, it changes nothing in the user. Does this root issue apllies to the Zerwas method?
It depends on how Zerwas was thinking you'd implement it. If you added it to each user's login items, it should run as the user. If you create a startup item to run it, it will run as root. I'm assuming Zerwas was suggesting the former because there would be no point in wrapping the shell script in an AppleScript if you are going to turn it into a startup item.
What you might be able to do - at least with the loginwindow script - would be to explicitly run the command as the user by making use of the fact that the user name is passed to the loginwindow script as $1. I've never used loginwindow scripts but it seems as though it should work.
Another possibility would be to use a LaunchAgent. These are really intended to manage background processes, though, and it seems an unnecessary use of resources to load one which will only ever be run at startup.
Can I ask why you wish to run the script every time a user logs in? Is the concern that the default will get set to something else and needs to be reset regularly?

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!

Re: Executing UNIX commands from PC Client

Hello,
You can run FTP on the client and connect to your unix server to
transfer the files across.
As far as running UNIX commands goes you can transfer the command
set to a service object deployed on the server and run them from there.
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
I have a file which needs to be FTP'd to a remote sever. The file is
created on the PC Client tier of the application. In addition, I have a
few unix scripts which I would like the client to execute. Is there a way
to execute unix (or server) based commands from a Forte Service Object.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
If the problem is only to copy a file from one system to an other, you
should use only Forte. Here is an abstract from the on line help :
Copying a Set of Files Between Partitions
To copy a set of files using the FileSystem class:
1 In the local partition, instantiate a FileSystem object using the
"new" operator.
In this example, we use the name "localFileSystem" for this FileSystem
object.
2 Invoke a method that will execute on the remote partition, either on a
service object or any distributed reference to an object in the remote
partition.
3 In this method, instantiate a FileSystem object and return it to the
local partition.
For this example, we will use the name "remoteFileSystem" to refer to
this FileSystem object. Note that you do not need to set the IsAnchored
attribute on FileSystem objects that are to be returned as distributed
references. These objects are automatically created as anchored objects,
so references to them in other partitions are always returned as
distributed references.
4 In the local partition, invoke the SetRemoteFS method on the
localFileSystem object, using the distributed reference to
remoteFileSystem as the remoteFS parameter.
5 Invoke the SetRemoteFS method on the remoteFileSystem distributed
reference, passing the localFileSystem object as the remoteFS parameter.
6 Invoke the SetLocalDir and SetRemoteDir methods to set the working
directory on the local and remote systems, respectively.
7 Construct one or more file names in portable operating system format
(see Naming Files in FileSystem Methods ) that represent the file, or
files, that are to be copied between systems.
8 Put the files names you constructed into TextData objects and insert
them into an array of TextData objects.
9 Invoke the PushFiles method on localFileSystem, using the array of
TextData objects containing the file names, to move files from the local
system to the remote system. If you want to move files from the remote
system to the local system, invoke the PullFiles method instead..

help.
To run operating system commands (f.i. unix command and scripts) from within a
forte application , you can use the RunCommand method on
task.part.OperatingSystem. (See the forte help).
You can let your client call a method on a service object that resides on the
server and then this method will run the script using the above method.
Hope this helps,
