Running a shell script in a Cocoa-Applescript, from the Resources folder?

Hello!
I need to use a bash script, but the script must be IN the application. I placed them in the "Supporting files", but i am not able to find them using "do shell script"
Thanks!

If you stick the script in the Resources folder you can get it by
path to resource "Bash Script"
If you want to put it in the folder Supporting files you need to construct the path
(path to me as string) & "Contents:Resources:Supporting files:Bash Script"
(where Bash Script is the name of your script)
Don;t know if there is a shorter way for the second case.

How do I run a shell script via AppleScript?

Seems obvious, "do shell script" but that doesn't work for me.
I have an Automator app which runs a shell script, I'd like to take that into an AppleScript. My AS doesn't run the shell script. Perhaps "do shell script' is expecting the script to be located elsewhere? The rest of my AS runs fine, but the shell script doesn't.
repeat with i from 1 to count of items in exportFolder
do shell script
          "exiftool -overwrite_original -Photoshop:CopyrightFlag='True'"
done
end repeat
As I say this works within an Automator app, what changes do I need to make it work in AppleScript?
Thanks!

What is 'exportFolder'? Where is it defined?
Thanks, 'exportFolder' is defined earlier in the script. The purpose of the script - which is run from within Aperture - is to rename the selected images, export them (to the 'exportFolder'), reset the version name and, using ExifTool, add metadata which Aperture does not write to exported JPEGs.
I have a version of this which works in Automator but I couldn't see any clues there on setting the path to ExifTool.
Here's the full (modified) script. Currently it returns an error
Result:
error "No file specified" number 1
so I now need to understand if I can use 'exportFolder' (defined at the start) to tell Finder which folder to use.

How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?

Hello Oracle People,
I'd like to run a shell script from the Scheduler in my 10g database.
Right now it is a simple shell script.
Eventually it will wrap RMAN commands to back up my DB.
I wrote a simple pl/sql script to create a job:
-- cr_job10.sql
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_backup_job',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/h/oracle/scripts/tst.sh',
start_date => '06-SEP-07 5.33.00PM US/Pacific',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
end_date => '08-SEP-07 4.00.00PM US/Pacific',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'My Backup Job');
END;
I see no errors when I run the above procedure.
I checked DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and the job is in there.
The scheduler, though, errors out with an error which I see in a trace file:

There, I see some evidence that I need to configure something inside
of Oracle to run shell scripts from the scheduler, but possibly just
for machines running windows. I'm running Solaris.
Do any of you know what I need to configure inside of Oracle to
run shell scripts from the scheduler?

Hello people,
I should have added this bit of information:
"The script runs fine from oracle's crontab."
"The script runs fine from a shell owned by oracle."
I'm getting responses telling me to check my env variables and permissions
which would be helpful to a UNIX novice.
I have a feeling that no one is using the scheduler to run RMAN scripts.
Tim Hall suggested I take a close look at these files:

I am focused on this error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
And I am focused on this exit code: 274662
What does 274662 mean?
If the Scheduler gives me an error like "274662" rather than some English,
it's obvious to me the Scheduler is a POS and I should not use it.
And of course,
If I cannot run RMAN from Oracle Scheduler, I'll use cron.

Do I run a shell script (bsh) via PL/SQL stored procedure?

Hello guys,
Do I run a shell script (bsh) via PL/SQL stored procedure?
For example:
procedure X is
(variables)

vFileHandle := utl_file.fopen('/mnt/novell/', 'file.txt','r');
exception
when 'INVALID READ FILE' then
(I've to try running script to mount a Novell partition.);
end;
I've to installed Oracle 9.0.1 on Suse Linux.
Please, any ideas or hints ...
Thx and regards.

You might be able to us the HOST command, I think you'd have to run it via dbms_sql, check this page for more details, not sure if it'll be of help but its worth a try..

How to run unix shell script from java web applet

hi all
i have created one java applet. my apache web server is on unix server.
i have created one shell script in same directory where my .class and .htm files reside...
how to run this shell script from applet? it should search this .sh file on server and not on the client browser machine...
thanks in advance

I suppose you could make the shell script into a CGI, configure the server to execute CGIs, and then make the applet open the URL of that CGI.

How to run a shell script from the GUI?

This is probably a dumb question...
How do I run a shell script from the GUI? I've been told to double click it but when I do, it opens as a text file.

The behavior you describe is that used by the KDE and GNOME desktops of Linux.
Under OS X, if you make a script then mark it as executable, double-clicking on it in the Finder will not execute it. Actually, it uses a rather complex algorithm ([summarized here|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/macos-qna/macos-x-qa-2.html]) to determine what to do with it. This is implemented in Mac OS X' LaunchServices framework (incidentally, the associations are cached in /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple/LaunchServices*.csstore). You can read the details in the developer docs about LaunchServices.
Anyway, in short, the suffix '.command' is a built-in type in the LaunchServices network that identifies a shell script. If you run
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -dump
... it will tell you as much.

Secure login to remote UNIX host and run a shell script

Hi I am new to JAVA. I want to login to remote UNIX host from my application secure login (SSH) and run a shell script reside that remote host. Can any one let me know the way how to do it. If possible provide the code example.

Runtime.exec with an ssh command (not really recommended).
Much better, an SSH API (JSch, which needs JZlib, from http://www.jcraft.com/ is a good one).

Run a shell script from FORM

Hi,
Is there a way that we can run a shell script on UNIX box from ORACLE FORMS 4.5 running on client PC (OS=windows on client,

Thanks in advance for help

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Anton Weindl ([email protected]):
You can either use rsh or rexec (both available on windows). You will have to edit the .rhosts in the home directory of the unix user the script will be run under:
<Client-Hostname> <USER>
<USER> must match the Windows-User exactly.
You can then execute the Shell-Script with
host('rsh <HOST> -l <USER> sh <SCRIPT>',NO_SCREEN)
Hope that helps

Thank You Anton Weindl,
It seems like the thing I want to use instead of the dbms_pipe.
I tried to use rsh and gives me the following message

where taurus is hostname and

I am logged on windows 2000 with this name.
"taurus permission denied:"

How to run Unix Shell Scripts

I hope someone knows Unix better me. I created a shell script to run some ap comp sci classes, and whenever I want to run the script, I'm forced to type:
"./runMBS", while I want to just type "runMBS". Any suggestions will be nice.
Thanks

If you only type the name of a command (or script) the Unix shell only looks for those commands in the directories specified in the $PATH variable. If you provide a full or partial path to the command then the shell will run the command at that location... that's why including "./" in front of your shell script works... it tells the shell to run the command in the current directory (ie "./").
You can either:
- move your shell script to one of the directories specified in your $PATH variable
or
- add the directory containing your shell script to your $PATH
To modify the $PATH so that it includes the directory your script resides in use something like this in your .bash_profile:
<pre>
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/scriptdir
export PATH
</pre>
Although it's possible to include "./" in your PATH, it's not advisable and can present security problems. Read this explanation for more information.

Problem with running Bash shell scripts

I am unable to run Bash shell scripts on the UNIX Terminal application.
This is the transcript from the Terminal application.
Zhi-Yang-Ongs-Computer:/Applications/MetaPost/metapost-1.102 zhiyangong$ ./test1.sh
dyld: Symbol not found: _BC
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/bash
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
Trace/BPT trap
Zhi-Yang-Ongs-Computer:/Applications/MetaPost/metapost-1.102 zhiyangong$
Is this a problem with the the default installation of the Bash shell? Can I install the Bash shell on my own? If so, how can I do that?
Also, how can I get the dynamic linker, dyld, to refer to the symbol "_BC"? What does this symbol "_BC" refer to?

This was in your posted output:
/usr/local/bin/bash
You are NOT running the default bash, you are trying to run a private copy.
The default Mac OS X bash is located at
/bin/bash
Try the following:
/bin/bash ./test1.sh
Does that work?
What is the first line of your script? Is it:
#!/bin/bash
Or maybe
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/usr/bin/env would find the first bash in PATH . I find this most useful for finding perl on different systems, but sh, ksh, bash, zsh, csh, tcsh are all generally found in /bin so I do not bother using /usr/bin/env
And if you have
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
Then the person that wrote test1.sh choose to use something besides the default bash
Or maybe this script was transferred from some system where you needed to put your own copy of bash in /usr/local/bin because the vendor does not distribute bash
Then again, you have not showed us what is inside your script, so it is possible something in the script called something else which invoked the /usr/local/bin/bash
If that is the case, then you might try:
/bin/bash -x ./test1.sh
which should show you the commands executed before it died.

Use java to run a shell script which called a crontab command at Unix

I was trying to write an automate function using Java, which needs to call a shell script containing a crontab commend. The shell works fine without that crontab commend, but once I add it, the program won't execute that crontab commend.
public void cron(){
try
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("script1");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(line);
int returnValue = proc.waitFor();
br.close();
} catch (Exception e){} //
script1:
#!/bin/sh
crontab cronfile
Can someone help me out for this? Thank you.

Try this....
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh");
java.io.BufferedWriter bw = new java.io.BufferedWriter(new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(p.getOutputStream()));
bw.write("script1");
bw.flush();
bw.close();

You seem to have ignored Dude's VERY good advice and continue to press down this ill-advised path. If you continue this approach, you WILL have problems at the very time you do not need any additional problems. Trying to recover your production database at 2:00 in the morning is not the time to be getting errors from rman because it can't find what it needs - because you decided to move them around yourself.
Please reconsider.

How can I edit an AppleScript from the terminal?

I'd like to edit an AppleScript from the terminal. Does Mac OS X have built in support for this or do I need to get a 3rd party editor?

Have you tried using vim (a.k.a. vi)?
vi /Library/Scripts/iChat/Auto\ Decline.applescript
At least in this case, it's just a textfile. The 'file' command shows it to be:
file /Library/Scripts/iChat/Auto\ Decline.applescript
/Library/Scripts/iChat/Auto Decline.applescript: Mathematica, or Pascal, Modula-2 or 3 code text
Hope this helps.
