Perform Windows _lopen command in Java

Hi all,
I would need to know if there is a possibilty to call the Windows Kernel Function "_lopen" in Java. Background is that I need to exclusively lock a File in a Win2K environment, so that another process can not access it.
The other process uses the _lopen command so it would be the correct way to use the same method (or it's Java representation) on my side.
So, is there a possibility to use this method from Java?!
Thanks for any help!!!
nocomm

Have a try with JNative.

  • DOS command from java applet

    Hi, I need to perform a DOS command from Java (using WFC if needed)...
    I have no idea, so please help!
    Thank you.

    OH OH OH WAIT! It is an Applet! i think there will be some security issues here! Sure enough you can't execute commands on the system from an applet unless you make some changes on the java.policy files on the client machine (that means, if your applet is in a web page, every machine which view your page).

  • How to run system commands from JAVA

    Hi Friends,
    How to run windows system commands from JAVA
    Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
    r.exec("dir");
    Throwing following Exception
    CreateProcess :dir error=2
    Thanks in advance
    Hamsa

    Hi ,
    in Windows NT this is not possible, you can use the following :
    Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
    StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
    String dir = new String();
    java.lang.Process proc = r.exec("cmd /c dir");
    InputStream is = proc.getInputStream();
    int ch ;
    while((ch=is.read() ) != -1)
    sbuf.append((char)ch);
    is.close();
    dir = sbuf.toString();
    System.out.println(dir );

  • Calling Windows XP FTP Command in java

    Hi there!
    Need help in calling Windows XP FTP command in java:
    executing the FTP command in DOS works well, but when I tried calling it in java using Process and Runtime objects, it successfully transferred the files from remote to my local pc... but I seemed to be stuck with .exec() and cannot continue with the other statements.
    I know that I can use eFTPj or Apache Commons Net .. but I have no more time to study it since I have no more time left.
    Any idea or suggestion? I badly need your help�
    Take care and God bless,
    MaDz

    Solution:
    Better use Apache Commons Net - FTP for greater java support.

  • Help with executing windows command in java

    hi, i am trying to execute dos command in java. currently i am trying simply to create a folder in the current directory.
    here is the code snippet:
    try {
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("md myFolder");
    } catch (IOException io) {
    io.printStackTrace();
    i have also tried using "mkdir" instead of "md". but my code just throws an exception that says:
    java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: md myFolder error=2
    what have I done wrong? thanks in advance

    try {
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c
    mkdir myFolder");
    catch (IOException io) {
    io.printStackTrace();hey! that code worked out perfectly. so "cmd" is needed to run dos commands? i searched through the net, but most of the examples that i were able to find did not include "cmd".
    if it wouldn't be too much trouble, what is the option "/c" for?
    i would also like to add that "mkdir" also works. The problem was the missing "cmd /c". Thanks guys for your help! I really appreciate it.

  • Running System Commands using Java

    HI,
    I am developing an application using java which requires some system commands to be run.For example i have to write a java function which can program the windows scheduler to run a particular executable at some time & another one to initiate an ftp.I however do not know how to execute the corresponding commands from java.Is there any way or some specific api(similar to the system command in c) that i can use to perform these operations.I am using j2sdk 1.4.0_01 on a win 98 machine to develop the application.

  • Executing shell commands from Java.

    I want to execute shell commands in Java using the Runtime.exec( String ) method.
    The method works fine under Linux OS, but under Windows '98 the method didn't work at all!
    For example the following call: Runtime.exec( "dir" ) throws an exception showing that the command was not completed. If I replace dir with ls under Linux all is good. What is the problem with the Microsoft Windows '98 ? Is there any solution at my problem ?!
    thx in advance!

    hey JSarmis,
    You can help me... "ls" doesn't work for me on linux.. using Runtime.exec, some commands work, others don't... you may hold the key to what i need? How did u get "ls" to work?

  • Is it possible to run all Dos based command on Java ?

    hello friends
    I run Dos Commands on Java by following code
    try{
    Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c","dir"});
    }catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
    System.out.println("bye");
    If I run "mkdir" instead of "dir" folder is created in current directory. But in case of "dir" listing of file folders is not displayed to me . means "dir " is not running.
    could any body tell me what to do in this case
    thanks

    ejp wrote:
    'dir' is not an executable program. It is built-in to the command shell. The only way you can execute it is by feeding it to a shell via a batch file.Sorry 'ejp' but 'dir' can be run this way (I have just checked on XP) so there has to be something wrong with the way the OP is processing the results. Since he does not seem to process stdout or stderr and he does not wait for the process to complete I am betting he is falling foul of one or more of the traps. My best bet is that he is expecting a console window to open and the directory listing to appear in it.

  • How to run a unix command in java

    Hi all,
    I need to run a unix command in my standalone java application.my java program is in windows.Is it possible to run unix command on windows system.help me out.
    I tried this
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps -ef");
                BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
                     InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
                BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
                     InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));i get IO Exception -Create Process ps-ef error=2

    If you want to run a command from java for a windows platform, you should check windows knows the command.
    So, load up a DOS prompt and type ps -ef and see what happens.

  • Execute NMAP command in java

    Hi all
    i would like to execute a NMAP command from java. So i wrote the following method:
    public void execute(){
    try {
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
    String command = new String("nmap -sU -p 161-162 "+this.network+" -oX /home/hippie/blaTEST.txt");

    Process p = r.exec(command);
    System.out.println("executed nmap");
    catch (Exception ex) {
    System.out.println(ex);
    Now i have the problem that i have to be root user in linux to execute this command. So it doesn't work the way i implemented it
    Could someone explain me how i have to implement it?
    I think the same problem could occur in Windows if i'm not Admin, is this right?
    Thanks Angela

  • Execute Command fron Java Program

    Hi All,
    I am trying to execute a command from Java Application, but iam not getting any result. My problem is:-
    1- Open a terminal.
    2- execute command.
    The same is working fine in windows , the step for windows are:-
    1- execute cmd.exe
    2- go to prompt
    3- execute command.
    How to do it for Solaris 10 ??? Any cmd.exe equivalent for solaris terminal???

    This is done in the exact same way. You open a terminal (depending on your gui its called "console" or "this computer" (CDE), and "Gnome console" (iirc) in the Java desktop) and then you're home free. "javac", "java", etc. should all be in your search path.
    If not look in /usr/java.

  • Problem while running dos command from java program

    Dear friends,
    I need to terminate a running jar file from my java program which is running in the windows os.
    For that i have an dos command to find process id of java program and kill by using tskill command.
    Command to find process id is,
    wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid
    This command gives the ProcessList.txt file and it contains the processid. I have to read this file to find the processid.
    when i execute this command in dos prompt, it gives the processid in the ProcessList.txt file. But when i execute the same command in java program it keeps running mode only.
    Code to run this command is,
    public class KillProcess {
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              KillProcess kProcess = new KillProcess();
              kProcess.getRunningProcess();
              kProcess = new KillProcess();
              kProcess.readProcessFile();
         public void getRunningProcess() {
              String cmd = "wmic /output:ProcessList.txt process where \"name='java.exe'\" get commandline,processid";
              try {
                   Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
                   Process process = run.exec(cmd);
                   int i = process.waitFor();
                   String s = null;
                   if(i==0) {
                        BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
                               InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
                        while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println("--> "+s);
                   } else {
                        BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
                               InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
                        while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println("====> "+ s);
                   System.out.println("Running process End....");
              } catch(Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();

              File file = null;
              FileInputStream fis = null;
              BufferedReader br = null;
              String pixieLoc = "";
              try {
                   file = new File("ProcessList.txt");
                   if (file.exists() && file.length() > 0) {
                        fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                        br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis, "UTF-16"));
                        String line;
                        while((line = br.readLine()) != null)  {
                             System.out.println(line);

                        System.out.println("No such file");
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return pixieLoc;
    }     when i remove the process.waitFor(), then while reading the ProcessList.txt file, it says "No such file".
    if i give process.waitFor(), then it's in running mode and program is not completed.
    Colud anyone please tell me how to handle this situation?
    or Is there anyother way to kill the one running process in windows from java program?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sathish

    Hi masijade,
    The modified code is,
    class StreamGobbler extends Thread
        InputStream is;
        String type;
        StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type)
            this.is = is;
            this.type = type;
        public void run()
            try
                InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-16");
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
                String line=null;
                while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
                    System.out.println(type + ">" + line);
                } catch (IOException ioe)
                    ioe.printStackTrace(); 
    public class GoodWindowsExec
        public static void main(String args[])
            try
                String osName = System.getProperty("os.name" );
                String[] cmd = new String[3];
                 if( osName.equals( "Windows 95" ) )
                    cmd[0] = "command.com" ;
                    cmd[1] = "/C" ;
                    cmd[2] = "wmic process where \"name='java.exe'\" get commandline,processid";
                } else {
                    cmd[0] = "cmd.exe" ;
                    cmd[1] = "/C" ;
                    cmd[2] = "wmic process where \"name='java.exe'\" get commandline,processid";
                Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                System.out.println("Execing " + cmd[0] + " " + cmd[1]
                                   + " " + cmd[2]);
                Process proc = rt.exec(cmd);
                System.out.println("Executing.......");
                // any error message?
                StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new
                    StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");           
                          // any output?
              StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new
                    StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
                          // kick them off
                errorGobbler.start();
                outputGobbler.start();
                // any error???
                int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
                System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);       
            } catch (Throwable t)
                t.printStackTrace();
    }when i execute the above code, i got output as,
    Execing cmd.exe /C wmic process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid
    and keeps in running mode only.
    If i execute the same command in dos prompt,
    CommandLine
    ProcessId
    java -classpath ./../lib/StartApp.jar;./../lib; com.abc.middle.startapp.StartAPP  2468
    If i modify the command as,
    cmd.exe /C wmic process where "name='java.exe'" get commandline,processid  > 123.txt
    and keeps in running mode only.
    If i open the file when program in running mode, no contents in that file.
    If i terminte the program and if i open the file, then i find the processid in that file.
    Can you help me to solve this issue?

  • 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.
