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

Pass in date from shell script to java program

Hi,
I need to pass in some parameter to my java program.
eg 'java SomeProgram yyyy mm dd hh mm ss'
How do i use the shell script to generate the valeus for the year, mth day etc?
The program is running once everyday.
I tried $argu0 = `date+%y`
java SomeProgram $argu0
but not working... thanks for your help!

Then, why would you want to use 'date' to provide
'now' to a Java program when you could just use new
java.util.Date() which probably makes the same call
as the Unix 'date' command?That works until you need to use a date other than 'now.'
    public static final String ISO_DATE = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = (SimpleDateFormat) SimpleDateFormat
                .getDateTimeInstance();
        sdf.applyPattern(ISO_DATE);
        try {
            Date d = sdf.parse(args[0]);
            // rest of code here
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            // handle exception
    }Users will have to enclose there input with quotes otherwise the JVM will consider their input as two parameters, or you can change the pattern to include a character between dd and HH.

Passing argument to shell script from java program

str="/bin/sh -c /root/PWAppSh/StartSH.sh";
p = rt.getRuntime().exec(str);
above is the code snippet of java program for calling the shellscript
when i pass a argument to the shell script from my java program it wont get accepted in shell script as an input
when i do following changes in above code it wont work :---
str="/bin/sh -c /root/PWAppSh/StartSH.sh para1 para2 para3 ";

Passing Null Characters from Unix Shell Script to Java Program

Hi Experts,
Facing an issue with a shell script....
The shell script has 10 input parameters....
1st Parameter is a compiled Java program name(This can keep changing)
Rest 9 are the parameters of the Java Program...
The following piece of code is working when Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" is hardcoded.
lv_java_string=`java Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""`
The whole thing being dynamic.....
But when I dynamically populate the same on to a parameter lv_java_param and then execute the same
lv_java_string=`java $lv_java_param`
if i echo $lv_java_param its giving me Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" correctly
Im facing some issue...... The issue is " is being treated as a parameter itself and the space between a and z is not taken into consideration and hence z is taken as the 2nd parameter
Issue seems to be something like the precedence in which the above statement is executed, because of which "s are calculated/manipulated. Is it something like
a) $lv_java_param is computed first and then java $lv_java_param
b) or java $lv_java_param is run on the fly......
Any help is much appreciated.

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
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/bin/bash" (in directory "\usr\bin"

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.

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>

Sending arguments to shell script from Java program

Hi,
I am invoking a shell script within a Java program by runtime command.But I need to pass a variable to the shell script from the Java program!!!
Please help me!!!
Thanks!!!

You can set environment variables as the second argument to Runtime.exec(). You can pass argument on the command line. So, what sort of argument do you want to pass?

Shell script executing Java program

Hi
I have the following shell script:
#!/bin/sh
export GENTOO_VM=sun-jdk-1.5
exec java -cp . EchoEnv
Does this shell script execute a .class file or a .java file? Does the java file have to be in the same folder as the script file?
Thanks,

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...

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.
