Remote execution of unix shell from Windows ?

Hello,
I have a question related to distributed computing.
I want to invoke Bash Script in a remote unix machine from my Windows 2000 computer. I hope in DOS environment of my Windows computer, I can run like this:
C:\StartUnix.bat
Then the DOS batch file will automatically connect to a remote computer running Unix and invoke one bash script, for example, "test.sh" to do the job in the unix environment. In the test.sh file, for example, I just want to show "Hello World!". (echo "Hello World !").
In Windows computer, if I use telnet to the unix machine, I have to enter username,password, and run the shell script manually. Is there a way to do it automatically?
How can I do that? RMI ? IDL? or something else? Can someone explain in details?
Thank you very much!
David

You could try to use OutputStream object for the process object and write to it after opening the telnet session. This way your output will be to the telnet window and you could pass your telnet login info to it.
I have seen code that does similar thing. Check in the forum with runtime.exec()

Unix Shell Script-Windows Client

Forget it.If you have to write shell scripts for a Unix server, learn writing shell scripts on Unix. There are many good books and tutorials (and even more bad ones) available.Don't try to write shell scrips on Windows. There's only one tool which I know of which will enable you to use shell scripts on Windows, that's CygWin.Also why do you want to check Unix files from a Windows client??? Could you please explain in a little more detail what exactly the whole process will be? I suspect I may have misunderstood your question. Regards,Nico

Hi All, My Informatica server installed on Unix and my client is installed on Windows.Before processing the file i want to check the file data accoring to the requirement like header,footer,no of records using shell script and need to mail the person if the file has any issues.What is the basic systax to write the shell scripts on windows client to access the file on unix server.If possible give the required shell scripts also for this requirement .I am new to Shell scripting in informatica. Thanks in adavance. Regards,Vijaya

Office 2013 windows 'pop-under' when run as remote apps on Server 2008R2 from Windows 7 clients

We have an environment with Windows 7 clients running Office 2013 via RDS on Windows Server 2008R2.
When users double click emails from Outlook, they 'pop-under', forcing the user to relocate the window which has fallen behind the application's primary window, leaving behind a slight redraw of what is supposed to be the pop-up window. Users also experience
difficulty opening application menu/help items and any other dialogue boxes in any/all of the other Office 2013 apps we've deployed via RDS.
This issue persists only on Win7 PCs (WinXP does not exhibit this behaviour). The RDP clients range from 6.2.92 to 6.1.7601

Remote control a Mac server from Windows machines

I'm running a Mavericks Server that I'd like to get off my desk and put in the data center. However, my primary laptop is a Windows 8.1 laptop that I use to support other things. I'd still like the ability to remote into the Mac Server from my Windows laptop. I know that I can VNC into the server, but it's my understanding that if I have Remote Management turned on, I can't have Screen Sharing (and thus, VNC) turned on. So it seems like my options are to run another VNC server on a different port or use LogMeIn Ignition. But I'm not sure what other people are using so I'd like your help. Thoughts? Suggestions?
TIA

As you have found via the answer provided by Morgan R, it is possible to configure Remote Management to allow standard VNC clients to connect just like it is possible with Screen Sharing.
Note: Remote Management does everything Screen Sharing does plug other things. So anything you can do via Screen Sharing you can do via Remote Management.
However there is a client available for Windows that does support the extended login information used by Remote Management/Screen Sharing, this is 'Remotix' by Nulana.
See http://www.nulana.com/remotix-windows/
I have tried it and it does work. I did however find one serious bug which I have reported to them but I don't know if they have fixed it yet.
Over the years I have found many in fact nearly all software that involves linking Mac and Windows where one controls the other in either direction has suffered an inexcusable bug whereby if you are not using US keyboards at both ends then several keys will not be mapped properly and you can even end up with some keys not usable at all. The most infamous combination is the @ and " keys being swapped.
All these programs appear to have been written by Americans who are members of the 'flat earth' society and obviously believe that if you leave the shores of the USA you will fall of the edge of the world. I presume they also are avid fans of the Discworld series of books.
Offenders include Virtual PC, Microsoft Remote Desktop Client 1.0 (for Mac), Timbkutu Pro, Remotix and I am sure many others.
Note: Microsoft did at least fix theirs several years later with Remote Desktop Client 2.0 (for Mac).
The one noteable exception is VNC. VNC was originally developed at AT&T Laboratories in Cambridge, England. (Not New England.)
See http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/ I am sure if it had been developed in Cambridge, Massachusetts it would have suffered the same problem. Since Screen Sharing on Macs is based on VNC it has never suffered this problem even when controlling a PC via VNC. I am therefore even more shocked that Nulana managed to make this mistake.

Remote Desktop Connection Authentication Error from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 7 Pro

I keep trying to connect to my server running Windows 7 Pro from my laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro, but I get the following message after providing
my credentials:
"An authentication error has occurred (Code: 0x8007001f)"
I can't find any reference to this error code being associated with using remote desktop.

Hello,
Are you connecting to a server as part of a domain ? if so confirm you are using adequate credentials for remote desktop for example: username: domain\administrator
if not you can try connecting to the localhost using:
username: .\administrator - for example
also you can try running your remote connection in admin mode:
Win + R - bring up run then type:
mstsc /admin
hope that helps.
Cheers,
Harry

Remote execution of DTS packages from Java Stored Procedures

I'm an Oracle 10G DBA and Linux/Unix Sysadmin looking for a Java guru to help me find a reusable template or locate a solid programming methodology (examples) that will enable me to connect via JDSI to SQL Server 2000/2005 and remotely execute DTS packages from within Oracle. I am working at office that's absolutely addicted to MicroSlop products and the DBA team cannot conceive of giving up their precious DTS packages. I've already converted their MS SQL Server 2000 database to Oracle 10G on RHEL4 via SQLDeveloper but I am unschooled in the art of java programming and would like to locate some sort of rudimentary template or examples or java class that can easily be loaded into the Oracle 10G database instance via the loadjava utility. These java classes/methods/stored procedures need to be executable from within embedded PL/SQL code and able to connect to SQL Server 2000 to execute DTS packages via passing dtsrun commands ... Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ilford:
Sure you can use fully package notation in your Java classes.
Look at this Java source code:
http://dbprism.cvs.sourceforge.net/dbprism/cms-2.1/src/com/prism/cms/core/
All of them are Java Stored procedures.
Best regards, Marcelo.

Remote Access to TC Disk from Windows/PC. Do I need DynDNS. Using FTP

I need to be able to have anyone on the Internet be able to access my files on Time Capsule. I am using my Time Capsule as a router and do not have a static IP. My Internet Provider is comcast and modem is a Motorola Surfboard.
Here are my basic questions:
How can my Time Capsule be accessed remotely via PC/Windows? What protocol? How?
Can Time Capsule be set up do FTP? What port mapping do I set up for the personal and private UDP and TCP?
Since I do not have a static IP address, do I need to subscribe to a Custom DynDNS account?
Thank You

How can my Time Capsule be accessed remotely via PC/Windows? What protocol? How?
Windows or Linux PCs can access the Time Capsule's (TC) file service via the SMB protocol.
The following is the basic steps to configure the TC's hard drive to be accessed from the Internet.
Configuring the TC
AirPort Utility > Select the TC
o Note the value of the IP Address. This is the Public or WAN-side IP address of the TC. (Note: You will need to have either a static Public IP address, or use a free dynamic DNS service, like you suggested, in order to access the TC from the Internet.)
Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
o Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Manual Setup > Disks > Files Sharing tab
o Enable file sharing (checked)
o Secure Shared Disks = With base station password
o AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed
o Share disks over Ethernet WAN port (checked)
Manual Setup > AirPort > Base Station
o Enter a Base Station Password and verify it in the Verify Password box.
Manual Setup > Advanced > Port Mapping
o Click the plus sign "+" to add a new port mapping.
o In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 5688) that you choose.
o In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your TC that you noted earlier.
o In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548, and then, click Continue.
o In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Time Capsule File Sharing," and then, click Done.
o When you have made all the changes, click Update.
Connect the PC to the TC from a remote location
o Type in your DynDNS domain name, plus a colon and the port number you specified when configuring the TC earlier. For example,"www.myTC.com:5688"
o You will be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password would be the TC's Base Station password you defined earlier.

Run Unix command from windows

I would like to run a unix command and capture the output by running a java program on a windows 98 machine, this will be ran on a secure intranet. What is the best way to do that. If anyone knows of an example source code that would be great.
thanks,

Try this. It always works for me.
import java.io.*;
public class Exec {
    private BufferedReader out;
    private Process p;
    public Exec(String cmd) throws IOException {
        p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
        out = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
    public BufferedReader getBufferedReader() {
        return out;
    public void waitFor() throws InterruptedException {
        p.waitFor();
    public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException,
            InterruptedException {
        final Exec p = new Exec("your command goes here.");
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    String s = null;
                    while((s = p.getBufferedReader().readLine()) != null) {

This is not oracle problem. You can try something like this in your shell program ->
DEV=Udev01/1ods@ODS1
DEV_ID=`sqlplus -s ${DEV} <<!
         set heading off feedback off verify off
         set serveroutput on
         @/prod/ods/satyaki/prac/ctl_build.sql '$1' '$3'; -- If you sql needs to pass argument
         exit
         !`
O_DIV_ID=`echo $DIV_ID | tr -s " " | sed 's/^[ ]//g'`
if [[ $O_DIV_ID -ne 0 ]]; then
      echo "Successfully EXecuted.."
else
echo "Failed..."
fiHope this will help.

Scheduling unix shell scripts from windows using DOS batch files

Hi,
I want to schedule unix shell scrips using windows scheduled. I have the option of scheduling the DOS batch files. But not able to connect to telnet using DOS. Please let me know if there is an option.

Drive letters are user specific. When you run jboss it runs as you, with your shared drives. When you run it as a service, it runs as guest or another user so your drive letters are meaningless.
Either setup the user or use UNC
