Power Shell Command using CSOM

Hi,
We have prepared a Power Shell command using Client Side scripts as per client requirements. The client did not had access to the SharePoint Server. So, PS commands with
server side scripts was out of scope.
The client requirement was to delete all the permissions on the list that was being inherited from site. Since the number of users were huge, so deleting all the users using ribbon was not possible.
Please have a look at the scripts below and let me know your feedback. If you have better suggestion than this, please let me know.
#location of client dlls on users' local system
$loc = "C:\SharePoint\ClientDLL"
//SharePoint Site URL
$siteUrl = ""
#Write your Login ID
$loginname = ""
#Write the Name of the List
$listname = ""
Set-Location $loc
Add-Type -Path (Resolve-Path "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll")
Add-Type -Path (Resolve-Path "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll")
Write-Host "Please enter password for $($siteUrl):"
$pwd = Read-Host -AsSecureString
$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)
Try
# Remove or replace line below to change authentication method
$ctx.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($loginname, $pwd)
$web = $ctx.Web
$ctx.Load($web)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
#Write-Host "Current web title is '$($web.Title)', $($web.Url)"
$list = $Web.Lists.GetByTitle($listname);
$ctx.Load($list);
$ctx.ExecuteQuery();
Write-Host "Deleting Permissions on List : $($list.Title)"
if($list.HasUniquePermissions)
                #Write-Host "Has Unique Permissions"
                $list.ResetRoleInheritance()
                $list.BreakRoleInheritance($false, $true)
                Write-Host "Permissions deleted" -foregroundcolor Green
if(-not $list.HasUniquePermissions)
                #Write-Host "Does not has Unique Permissions"
                $list.ResetRoleInheritance()
                $list.BreakRoleInheritance($false, $true)
                Write-Host "Permissions deleted" -foregroundcolor Green
Catch
                Write-Host "Some Error, Please Contact Administrator" -foregroundcolor Red
                return
$list.Update()
$ctx.ExecuteQuery();

Hi Sudheer,
In Client-Side, we can also use .NET Client Object Model to achieve your requirement.
Remove permission in Sharepoint List using Client Object Model
https://rambabualaparthi.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/remove-permission-in-sharepoint-list-using-client-object-model/
In order to better manage SharePoint in Client side, I suggest develop a Winform or WPF application and use .Net Client Object Model to achieve some requirements.

Run shell commands using java program

Hi guys,
I am trying to run shell commands like cd /something and ./command with arguments as follows, but getting an exception that ./command not found.Instead of changing directory using "cd" command I am passing directory as an argument in rt,exec().
String []cmd={"./command","arg1", "arg2", "arg3"};
File file= new File("/path");
try{
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(cmd,null,file);
proc.waitFor();
System.out.println(proc.exitValue())
BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream()));
catch(Exception e)
{e.printStackTrace();
So can anyone please tell me what is wrong with this approach? or is there any better way to do this?
Thanks,
Hardik

What gives you the idea that the process to execute is called "./command"? If this is in Windows, it is "cmd.exe" for example.It does not have to be cmd.exe in Windows. Any executable or .bat file can be executed as long as one either specifies the full path or the executable is in a directory that is in the PATH.
On *nix the file has to have the executable bit set and one either specifies the full path or the executable must be in a directory that is in the PATH . If the executable is a script then if there is a hash-bang (#!) at the start of the first line then the rest of the line is taken as the interpreter to use. For example #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/perl .
One both window and *nix one can exec() an interpreter directly and then pass the commands into the process stdin. The advantage of doing this is that one can change the environment in one line and it remains in effect for subsequent line. A simple example of this for bash on Linux is
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.Writer;
public class ExecInputThroughStdin
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
        final Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("bash");
        new Thread(new PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable(process.getErrorStream(), System.err)).start();
        new Thread(new PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable(process.getInputStream(), System.out)).start();
        final Writer stdin = new OutputStreamWriter(process.getOutputStream());
        stdin.write("xemacs&\n");
        stdin.write("cd ~/work\n");
        stdin.write("dir\n");
        stdin.write("ls\n");
        stdin.write("gobbldygook\n"); // Forces output to stderr
        stdin.write("echo $PATH\n");
        stdin.write("pwd\n");
        stdin.write("df -k\n");
        stdin.write("ifconfig\n");
        stdin.write("echo $CWD\n");
        stdin.write("dir\n");
        stdin.write("cd ~/work/jlib\n");
        stdin.write("dir\n");
        stdin.write("cat /etc/bash.bashrc\n");
        stdin.close();
        final int exitVal = process.waitFor();
        System.out.println("Exit value: " + exitVal);
}One can use the same approach with Windows using cmd.exe but then one must be aware of the syntactic differences between commands running in .bat file and command run from the command line. Reading 'help cmd' s essential here.
The class PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable in the above example just copies an InputStream to an OutputStream and I use
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable implements Runnable
    public PipeInputStreamToOutputStreamRunnable(InputStream is, OutputStream os)
        is_ = is;
        os_ = os;
    public void run()
        try
            final byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            for (int count = 0; (count = is_.read(buffer)) >= 0;)
                os_.write(buffer, 0, count);
        } catch (IOException e)
            e.printStackTrace();
    private final InputStream is_;
    private final OutputStream os_;
}

Shell commands in pl/sql

Hi i´m having trouble using this:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:6113176678923179734::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:16212348050
the code i used is:
create or replace procedure host( cmd in varchar2 ) as
status number;
begin
dbms_pipe.pack_message( cmd );
status := dbms_pipe.send_message( 'HOST_PIPE' );
if ( status <> 0 ) then
raise_application_error( -20001, 'Pipe error' );
end if;
end host;
I've granted the privileges to run dbms_pipe, BUT when i try to use it, it gets stuck while trying to run :
exec host('ls -l')
it doesn't respond....
then i tryed the part where it uses a shell to see what the procedure is doing, the code is:
#!/bin/csh -f
sqlplus tkyte/tkyte <<"EOF" | grep '^#' | sed 's/^.//' > tmp.csh
set serveroutput on
declare
status number;
command varchar2(255);
begin
status := dbms_pipe.receive_message( 'HOST_PIPE' );
if ( status <> 0 ) then
dbms_output.put_line( '#exit' );
else
dbms_pipe.unpack_message( command );
dbms_output.put_line( '##!/bin/csh -f' );
dbms_output.put_line( '#' || command );
dbms_output.put_line( '#exec host.csh' );
end if;
end;
spool off
"EOF"
chmod +x tmp.csh
exec tmp.csh
I supose it runs ok, becouse it creates a file named tmp.sch, but i can't really be sure becouse the previous part can't be done.
another question is that what does tom mean when he says "running this in the background", do i have to do it o does it do it itself.
what i need to do with this is send a file trough ftp, i've been using this shell named A-ftp.txt:
ftp -v -n 10.128.0.89 << EOF
user username password
bin
put "$1"
bye
EOF
where $1 is the name of the file. so when i try it trough my procedure it would be:
exec host('A-ftp.txt name-of-file')
but it olso gets stuck. I need this urgent!!!! what is the problem??? is there another solution to my problem?? is dbms_pipe the only way???
the code is the same as in the web page were i retrieved it, so i need to be given instructions in what to change and what to leave it as it is.
Restrictions:
I can only use pl/sql
I have little time
Thank You in advance

Running a shell command in windows

Hi All,
I am facing trouble trying to run the unix command in windows. I know that Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command) has to be used for this purpose. I have a slightly different requirement , i.e it is not simply executing the command.
Before I execute a command say " export $KEY_SETTINGS " I need to invoke the mks shell and then execute a shell (which sets few variables).
So the code which is written (not working though :( ) is
osCommand = "export $KEY_SETTINGS "
pathMKS = "C:\\temp1\\mksnt\\mksnt\\sh.exe";
pathENV = "C:\\\\temp1\\\\temp2\\\\Environ.sh";
command[0] = "cmd";
command[1] = "/c";
command[2] = pathMKS + " -c " + "\". " + pathENV + " ; " + osCommand + "\"";
report.println("Comanda="+ command[0] + ' ' + command[1] + ' ' + command[2]);
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
bufferedreaderErr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
for(int i = 0; (s = bufferedreader.readLine()) != null && i < 1; i++) {
commandOut = commandOut + s + "\n";
report.println("Print env:" + s);
while((s = bufferedreaderErr.readLine()) != null) {
commandErr = commandErr + s + "\n";
if (!commandErr.equals("")) {
throw new RuntimeException("Error running command: " + command[2] + "\n. Error: " + commandErr);
The error I am getting is
"Error running command: C:\oracle\mksnt\mksnt\sh.exe -c ". C:\\oracle\\appl\\Apps.sh ; export $KEY_SETTINGS "
Error: Export: not found.
Please help me out in this.
Best Regards

Running a shell command when UPS power is active.

I am hoping someone can help me create a shell command that will execute an automator workflow to send an email when my server has switched to UPS power.
I've created an automator workflow that opens mail, creates an email, and sends it. Now I need to create a way to execute the workflow when the server switches from AC power to UPS power.
Is this whole setup even possible? I have never written apple shell commands before so that is where I need the most help.

Runnings Shell Commands in PL/SQL Procedure

Hi folks,
I want to run the SQL/Plus HOST command within an PL/SQL Procedure.
I tried it with "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'HOST ls -la';"
and I'm afraid, that it didn't work.
Has anyone of you a suggestion?
regards
Markus

you can use system library.
Example for UNIX:
<<< create library in DB >>>
SQL>create or replace library libc
as
'/lib/libc.so';
<<< create procedure >>>
SQL>create or replace function libc_system (
cmd_str in varchar2
) return pls_integer
as external
library libc
name "system"
language c
parameters (cmd_str string);
<<< use it! >>>
SQL>exec libc_system('/usr/bin/cp /home/myhome/thefile /export/myfiles/thefile1);
NOTE1: You are need to be a familiar with "extproc" feature...
NOTE2: sometime(or always) you are need to put full path to executable files, like: "/usr/bin/cp"
I didn't checked a usage of env variables, like: $HOME, $ORACLE_HOME, etc...
NOTE3: This way can't be used to return a "screen" info from the function, like: "cat file1.txt | grep SOMETHING ".
For this case you can use utl_file package, like: "cat file1.txt | grep SOMETHING > file2". After that you can use utl_file package to read file2...

Error while Executing Unix Shell Commands Using Runtime clas

I am trying to run the following code in java on unix machine to execute cat command.
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
          try {
               System.out.println("before catexecute");
               Process process = runtime.exec("cat /export/home/shankerr/local.profile > /export/home/shankerr/local1.txt");
               try {

But i get the following error on the console
exit value = 2
cat: cannot open >
cat: cannot open /export/home/shankerr/local1.txt
The same command if i run on unix console directly it creates a new file and copies the content into the new file local1.txt
kindly help me on the same

The redirection operator > along with stuff like pipe | history !$ etc. is interpreted by the shell, not by the cat program.
When you do cat X > Ycat only sees the X. The rest is interpreted by the shell to redirect the cat program's stdout.
However, when you Runtime.exec(), you don't have the shell, so cat sees X > Y as its arguments, and interprets them all as file names. Since there's no file named > you get the error.
The solution is to first man cat on your system and see if it happens to have a -o or somesuch operator that lets it (rather than the shell) send its output to a file. If not, then you need to invoke a shell, and pass it cat and all of cat's args as the command to execute.
Read the man pages for you shell of choice, but for bash, I believe you'd give Runtime.exec() something like /bin/bash -c 'cat X > Y'
