Input to a shell script

Hey guys,
I was wondering let's say I have a text field called "text field"
I need the contents of it on a click of a button to go to a do shell script "stuff stuff/ stuff stuff/ (content from text field here)/ stuff stuff" Some thing of this sort. Hope this makes sense, Thanks a lot, Max

Thanks for the response Ed! I still can't seem to get it to work. Let me explain in a little more detail what I need to happen, any help would be great!
I have an app that starts a server from a do shell script command.
It technically never ends, and it it constantly outputting data. As a result when I run the program, the server starts and runs fine, but the program locks up because it is waiting for the command to end. Is there a way I can get the data to go somewhere, I don't need to look at it so it could just disappear.
Here is my code:
on clicked theObject
if theObject is button "Start" of window "Window" then
set serverName to content of text field "servername" of window "Window"
set adminPass to content of text field "adminpass" of window "Window"
set serverPassword to content of text field "serverpassword" of window "Window"
set botsTrue to state of button "bots" of window "Window"
set statsTrue to state of button "stats" of window "Window"
set serverPass to state of button "serverpass" of window "Window"
set shellScript to "/Applications/Zap\\!\\ Folder/ZAP.app/Contents/MacOS/ZAP -dedicated -hostname " & serverName
set shellScript to shellScript & " -adminpassword "
set shellScript to shellScript & adminPass
if botsTrue = 1 then set shellScript to shellScript & " -bots"
if statsTrue = 1 then set shellScript to shellScript & " -stats"
if serverPass = 1 then set shellScript to shellScript & " -password "
if serverPass = 1 then set shellScript to shellScript & serverPassword
do shell script shellScript
display dialog shellScript
end if
end clicked
Thanks a lot!

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

Hi,
Is possible run Unix script under java application?, how?

Automator: running forever after executing a shell script?

Hi,
so i have found this little automator workflow that will start MAMP's Apache & MYSQL servers automatically (saved workflow as app then put into my login item autostart) however the script just keeps running forever and never exits (which should prompt a small Growl notification as feedback.
The Script:
<pre class="jive-pre" style="white-space:pre-wrap;width:585px;">
on run {input, parameters}
*do shell script* "/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl start" password "my_password" user name "jannis" with administrator privileges
*do shell script* "/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld_safe --port=3306 --socket=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock --lowercase_tablenames=0 --pid-file=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.pid --log-error=/Applications/MAMP/logs/mysqlerrorlog &"
*do shell script* "exit 0"
return input
end run
</pre>
This is what shows when it runs:
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong for it to just keep spinning the little cog wheel and not exiting?
PS: Both services are being started successfully! So the shell scripts seem to be run and doing their job just fine, just that they do not exit.
Thanks for looking.
Jannis

This is a common question with do shell script. The issue is that mysqld_safe doesn't exit until MySQL shuts down, so your do shell script is hanging around waiting, essentially hanging your workflow.
The solution is to redirect the stdout and stderr of the mysqld_safe command to a temp file. This releases the hooks that do shell script has on the command allowing the workflow to continue. To do this, just append '> /dev/null 2>&1' to the end of the shell command, like:
do shell script "/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld_safe --port=3306 --socket=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock --lowercase_tablenames=0 --pid-file=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.pid --log-error=/Applications/MAMP/logs/mysqlerrorlog >/dev/null 2>&1 &"
As an aside:
do shell script "exit 0"
This line is worthless. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here

Run shell script Sudo or root?

Any way I can run an Automator shell script with sudo or as root?
I've been searching around and have found no information.
Thanks in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Enter a command such as the following into an AppleScript action:
on run {input, parameters}
do shell script "ls -l /" with administrator privileges
--do shell script "ls -l /" password "yourpass" with administrator privileges
return input
end run
To have your password provided automatically to the script, uncomment the second do shell script line, delete the first line, and enter your password between the second pair of double quote marks. The command can be changed as needed; if the command is interactive, it likely won't work through this method.

Shell script that captures key input? (keylogger)

I want to record all my keystrokes, just to see the frequency of some keys. There is a bunch of keyloggers on google that captures keystrokes, but none that is good and is in the AUR. Isn't it possible to do just with a little shell script? I don't mind if i have to keep the terminal open, and there is no need for any daemon/advanced stuff. Could you record a /dev/something or similar?

How to submit an input dynamically to an sql script in a shell script

Dear all,
I have a shell script myscript.sh, in that I am running an sql script , say mysql.sql, the sql script prompts for a value, and I have to type that prompted value to run the script. How can I give this value in my shell script itself.
Sample script
#!/bin/bash
echo "script starting at $(date)"
sqlplus apps/apps @mysql.sql
echo "script completed at $(date)"
exit
Regards,
Charan

Hi,
Please see
$cat sql_para.sh

Trying to create a shell script to cut/paste files in finder. Help needed.

I'm trying to create an automator shell script to cut/paste. It'll function exactly like copy/paste. i.e. I'll just copy file/files with command+c like always, but then I'll create an automator which uses the "mv" terminal app to move the files which works exactly like cut paste.
I need some help since I don't know the syntax for creating shell scripts.
What I did so far is to do it in automator with Apple Script which goes like the following:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set theWindow to window 1
set thePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (target of theWindow as string))
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
do script with command "mv \"" & input & "\"" & thePath in window 1
end tell
return input
end run
This gets the copied file path from clipboard before, as input, and then recognizes the active finder window as thePath so then executes the mv command for the input file to the thePath window.
It doesn't work as expected since it connects both file/window paths into a single path instead of leaving a space between them so the mv command can't recognize two separate paths.
What's the correct syntax for that line
do script with command "mv \"" & input & "\"" & thePath in window 1
to leave a space between input and thePath under the mv command?
Also this requires the terminal app to be open in the background.
After I get this to work I want to do the exact same thing using shell script within automator, so I won't need Terminal to be open all the time.
And the next step will be to cut/paste multiple files/folders but that should be easy to do once I get the hang of it.

Try using:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set theWindow to window 1
set thePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (target of theWindow as string))
end tell
do shell script "mv \"" & input & "\" " & thePath
return input
end run

How can i pass parameter values from html to a shell script

Hi Guys...
I had a requirement where i need to execute a sql statement and print the output in HTML page. This report has parameters to enter. So i created a HTML form which accepts parameters. When the submit button is pressed, the action tag in the form invokes unix shell script file. It will open sqlplus and run the sql script file .sql and print the output in the HTML page.
sql script contains the query and some set options which prints the output in HTML page. Like "SET MARKUP HTML ON"... The query has some parameters like "select * from emp where empno = &&empnumber. I will use the same name "empnumber" while created the HTML parameter form like " <input type = "text" name="empnumber" size="10" align="left">.
user sees this parameter form and enters some value in to that empno text box.
My question is how can i catch these parameter values in a shell script and pass it to the sql script to execute it.
Help Appreciated
Thanx

This is a A Bad Idea (tm). This type of CGI processing is old and were (and still is) full of security holes. Very easy to inject stuff (Unix commands and SQL) into it.. To get those parameters into SQL*Plus requires using Unix shell commands to process it - and something like a backquote allows all kinds of nasty stuff to be injected. The Unix shell was never designed to be used as a secure CGI environment.
There are far better and far superior alternatives. Perl (with Perl_DBI) and PHP (using Zend Core for Oracle) come to mind as web scripting languages.
Even easier is using HTMLDB. Very few moving parts. Is free. Supports Oracle 9.2 and 10G.

How to call a shell script from a java code

Hello can any one suggest me how to call a shell script from a java program that takes three parameters.
i have a shell script (msp_restore_gui) when i run this script in the command line in a RHEL5 ,SUSE10 and Debian machine it works fine .I even tested to call it from a java program and it also worked fine but when i used the same in a J2ee application where the user when clicks the restore button in a webserver this inturn sends the request to a java file named BackupManager.java where i call the shell script.But here it fails.Waiting for your suggestions.If you want i can put the code also here

How to tell if item is a folder or volume with applescript or shell script?

I am working on a service in Automator that will eject the selected drive when it is finished. Unfortunately automator can only tell the difference between files and folders for the service menu.
Im wondering if if i can use an applescript or shell script that would check if the selected folder is a volume or folder and quit the action if its a folder. I figure the best way to do this is have it determine if the items path is in /Volumes/, but i am completely new to the process and have no idea how to do this.
My automator workflow looks like:
Ask for Confirmation
Get Selected Finder Items
Shell Script
I have the path of the folder selected being passed into the shell script, but after its in there i dont know how to determine if its a volume or not.
Thanks!

K T,
I completely missed that section of the forums, sorry
Neil,
I had that kind of script set up but it was like this:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
kind of item parameters
end tell
end run
And i just figured out that i had to change the first line to "on run {parameters}" and now it works great.
Thanks for the help, it got me going in the right direction

Error while submitting a conc program through CONCSUB in shell script

Hi All,
I am working on 11.5.10.2.
I have a shell script from which I am calling a concurrent program using CONCSUB utility as below
CONCSUB $p_login $p_resp_appl_short_name "$p_resp_name" $p_user_name CONCURRENT $p_conc_appl_short_name $p_conc_prog_name "ABC" $v_seq_num
There are two types of error I am getting:
1. When I am submitting it from Order Management Super User it is giving error
Please enter a valid responsibility. The responsibility Order Management Super User does not exist or is not active. Check that the correct application short name is specified for your responsibility.
2. When I am submitting it from some custom responsibility I am getting following error
Cannot submit concurrent request for program APPS/APPS0
Check if the concurrent program is registered with Application Object Library.
Check if you specified the correct application short name for your concurrent program.
Cannot submit your concurrent request
Please suggest me the possible cause of the error.
Thanks
Vishalaksha

It is solved now. In the script I had p_data_file_path=$10 instead of p_conc_prog_name=${10}. This is the reason I was not getting the right concurrent program name as input parameter.
Thanks

Executing a shell script from a Trigger

All,
I have to write a script to do the following requirement.
There is a file called BUSINESS_DATE.TXT.
This file get updated once the oracle partition created. In Oracle, Partition will be created every day. There is a seperate script scheduled to take care ORACLE partition creation.
The above file will have only one row. i.e
03092012
If Oracle partition creation job failed, the above file won't be updated.
My requirement is,
I have to check whether the BUSINESS_DATE file is updated today or not. If yes, I will have to move the files from common area to input file directory to process those files.
All file name will amend with current date.
i.e
LIDDIFD03092012.TXT
The key part is to check the BUSINESS_DATE.TXT file is updated properly or not.
We don't know what time the file will get updated. So we are planning to schedule the new script to run for every 15 mins to check whether the file is updated or not
But...I just thougt instead of writing a shell script to do the above one, Why shouldn't I capture the date in a table (New table needs to be created) and use ORACLE TRIGGER to run the shell script to move the files from common area to input file directory to process those files?
My Proposal in ORACLE :
Create table business_date
rep_date varchar(15),
curr_timestamp timestamp
Once the oracle partition created , one row will be inserted into the above table. This adjustment needs to be implemented partition script.
Once this table get record, TRIGGER should call SHELL SCRIPT to move the files from common area to input area.
If I implement ORACLE TRIGGER, The script which will check whether the file got updated or not for 15 mins is not required. Right? Inputs from experts are welcome!

Triggers should not be used to do transactional work. There is no COMMIT in a trigger. What happens if the trigger runs the shell script and then a ROLLBACK occurs? You will have run the shell script when it shouldn't run.
Create a stored procedure to run the shell script. Call the stored procedure when the partition is created.
If you were using 11g and interval paritioning you wouldn't need to create the partitions manually. Oracle could create the partitions automatically.

Calling unix shell script from oracle stored procedure.. urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
i havea requirement where in i should be able to call my shell script through oracle stored procedure.i tried the following way..but iam unable to get the result.please find the details below.
new.sh - my shell script - lctfile (LCTFILE) is the input pa
v_config_file=`find $FND_TOP -name LCTFILE
FNDLOAD apps/s0ccer@$dxbs1 0 Y DOWNLOAD $v_config_file /home/bir4163/RPT33/bin/menu.ldt MENU MENU_NAME='AR_NAVIGATE_GUI'
if [ $? != 0 ];then
echo "$DATE $0 FNDLOAD DOWNLOAD Failed!" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
else
echo "SUCCESS" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
fi
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_dbms_scheduler
AS
v_text VARCHAR2 (255) := 'AR_NAVIGATE_GUI';
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('I am in Procedure');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
job_name => 'test_dbms_scheduler',
job_action => '/home/bir4163/RPT33/bin/new.sh',

DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable ('test_dbms_scheduler');
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('I am back in Procedure');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (SQLCODE || SQLERRM);
END;
But iam unable to test it as i do not have permissions to access dbms_scheduler.can anybody tell me how to solve this using DBMS_PIPE with a sample code.
please do help its very urgent
thanks

Hi,
Register your Shell Script as a concurrent program, Executable execution method "Host", then use fnd_request.submit_request to submit the program.

Error with dbms_scheduler and shell script execution

Hi,guys.
I have an issue with a dbms_scheduler and a shell script execution. So, the shell script as it self works fine, when i'm executing ./test.sh all process is running, but when i'm executing the script from dbms_scheduler it just simply doesn't work. Actually it works, but some of executable information in sh doesn't work, seems it just jump over of the part of the script. Sendmail part is running, maybe there is problem with rman script as it self?
DB version: 10g
And my scripts:
Shell scripts (permisons 755):
#!/bin/ksh
export PATH=/home/oracle/product/asm_home/bin:/home/oracle/product/db_home/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/oracle/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/product
export ORACLE_SID=zabbix
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/db_home
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/rman<<EOF
connect target /
run {backup recovery area delete all input;}
EOF
{       echo "From:[email protected]"
        echo "To: [email protected]"
        echo "Subject: Recovery area"
        echo 'Content-Type: text/html'
        echo
        echo '<html><body><table border="1" cellspacing="1">'
        echo '<tr><td><b>Process</b></td><td><b>Statuss</b></td></tr>'
        echo "<tr><td>RMAN</td><td><b>Works</b></td></tr>"
        echo "</table></body></html>"
} | sendmail -tIn the first part i'm exporting all of the important stuff for oracle, then I call RMAN with specific atributes. And then there is just simply sendmail functionality inside script to represent if script works (for now).
And below pl/sql script:
begin
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'FLASH_RECOVERY',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/home/oracle/backup/test.sh',
start_date => sysdate,
job_class => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
enabled => TRUE,
auto_drop => FALSE,
comments => 'FLASH RECOVERY USAGE AREA backup and delete'
END;
/And this job execution:
       begin
           DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (job_name =>'FLASH_RECOVERY',use_current_session => TRUE);
       end;What can be wrong? For me, I think it's something with permisions.
I hope you got my idea and could help me.
Tom

There is no error, i just receive all the time e-mail, seems it jumps over rman. I tried almost everything and still couldn't get result as i want. And, if i'm running script from command line - it works. Rman calls, and starts to recover archivelogs.
