Running a windows command line in java?

Hi guys.
I wonder if there's a way to run windows (dos) commands from within java. the code goes like:
if (setting == true) {
run dos command "ECHO Command is activated and running."
please reply if you are able to help out. thanks a lot

note that in some cases you can use a normal
Runtime.exec ("program arg1 arg2");
but in some cases the commands are built into the shell, so you have to do
Runtime.exec ("command.com /c copy myfile here");
"copy" is one of them, and "echo" is probably one too. The latter should work for all programs and commands, but might involve some overhead as a new instance of 'command' is created and destroyed for every command.

Execute windows command line to a file

Hi,
I would like to run a windows command line from Java and output the result to a file.
eg.
cmd> mycommand hello > output.txt
in windows ">" is to output the result to a file.
I've tried
String command = "mycommand hello > output.txt";
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);But that exec() didn't output to a file.
Can someone give me an example on how to do this?
Thanks

You are falling for one of the traps described here. The redirection operator '>' has to be interpreted by a shell or command processor. On windows this would be
String command = "cmd.exe /C mycommand hello > output.txt";and on Linux this would beString command = "sh -c mycommand hello > output.txt";You should read all 4 sections of the traps article and implement ALL the recommendations or you will be back here again.

Can't run java .class programs from Windows command line!

I have tried to get a program that I wrote with the JDK to run from the Windows command line, but it is not working. I typed:
java HelloWorld
Where my .class was HelloWorld.class, a compiled java program. I spelled the name correctly (and I am in the correct directory), yet I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld
I think something is screwy with windows, but that's just me. Any ideas??

Likely a CLASSPATH issue - try
java -classpath . HelloWorldGood Luck

Running class files from the windows command line...

Hello Everyone,
My instructor showed us a way to run class files from the windows command line. However every time I try to run the class file from the command line using a command like: java CruiseHelper.class
I get an error that states "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: CruiseHelper/class"

Hello Everyone,
My instructor showed us a way to run class files from

to run the class file from the command line using a
command like: java CruiseHelper.class
I get an error that states "Exception in thread
"main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
CruiseHelper/class"Classes are not file names. You don't have a class named "CruiseHelper.class", that's a file name. The class name is just CruiseHelper (if you have no package statement in it).
So,
java -classpath . CruiseHelper

Getting SimpleChat.mxml example running in the command-line

Hi,
I am working on getting a connection to cocomo working. Unfortunately, the documentation is highly unclear about how to get this running from the command-line(not to mention the example file in flash builder 4 crashes when run...).
Directly run, this is the error I'm getting:
$ /Developer/flex_sdk_4/bin/mxmlc cocomo_load.mxml
Loading configuration file /Developer/flex_sdk_4/frameworks/flex-config.xml
/Users/vlion/Documents/work/flixn/repos/vss/sandbox/cocomo_load.mxml(72): Error: Could not resolve to a component implementation.
/Users/vlion/Documents/work/flixn/repos/vss/sandbox/cocomo_load.mxml(84): Error: Could not resolve to a component implementation.
When adding --show-actionscript-warnings=true --strict=true, I get the same warning.
I have afcs.swc in the directory I'm running this from.
However, when run with --library-path=., I receive a slew of "could not find resource bundle for local en_US" warnings. Setting the local to en_US doesn't help the matter.
Reviewing the discussions I found online, this appears to be related to namespace issues. However, it is unclear what the namespace issue is.
What, exactly, is the problem, and what needs to be set to resolve it?

Hi,
Thanks for bringing this in notice to us. Since we were not building the examples in command-line with flex 4, we didn’t see this problem earlier.
The problem happened because our LCCS components were built with halo component and namespace in flex 3. So, when you are using the spark framework and flex 4, if you do not mention that you also need the halo theme , our components won't work. Flex Builder takes care for it but while doing command-line compiling you need to mention the theme specifically. If you run your current script with Flex 3 sdks, it would have built fine. This has nothing to do with our namespaces or using locale.
I am attaching a quick ant build script which I used to build our DefaultPods example with Flex 4 sdks( this script file is in same folder as DefaultPods.mxml).
You can see the build script and make any changes ( since I used for windows) and let us know if everything works fine for you.
Thanks again for bringing it to our notice. We will make sure that this gets added to the docs in next-release.
Thanks
Regards

Windows command line

Is thee any way to use java to process Windows command line commands, such as running ftp?

Runtime.exec() is used to run system commands, but it's not a command-line shell. Before you try to use it, you should read the following: Navigate yourself around pitfalls related to the Runtime.exec() method
If you're looking for an FTP API in Java, you should try the Jakarta Commons Net packages...

Running Jar vs. command line with libraries

Hi everybody,
I have an application that works well from the command line, which relies on 3 libraries, all of which are in the same directory. My current directory structure is like this:
Main Folder
-> Library 1
-> Library 2
-> Library 3
-> Run script
-> Source Folder ("source")
->-> Code and main class
Library 1 depends on both Library 2 and Library 3. When I run from the command line, from the main folder, using this command:
java -Djava.library.path=. source/MainClass
My program runs fine.
The problem comes when I try to package it into a Jar and replicate the directory structure.
My manifest is:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: source.MainClass
<newline>
and my jar command is:
jar cvmf Manifest.txt test.jar source/*.class
When I try to run my jar, I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/MainDirectory/Library1.so: Library2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I know what this means-- for some reason it doesn't know where Library2 is-- but I'm mystified as to why this works fine from the command line and not from a jar. Can anyone help me figure this out, please?
Thanks,
Jezzica85

Wrong question. You still want to run it via java -jar, but...
Your jar needs a MANIFEST.MF (if I recall correctly, that is the right file name) in its META-INF folder (again, if I recall correctly) which needs to set up the classpath via a Class-Path=... line in the file.
Actually you probably already do have such a file (you need it anyway for the jar to figure out what the main class is to execute), but it probably doesn't contain a Class-Path entry or is incorrect.
Google for jar manifestI've had less than stellar success on correcting the big boys lately, but why should I let that stop me...
As far as I can tell, the OP seems to be having problems with native link libraries. Some java class loads Library1 then (it appears) Library1 attempts to load Library2.
Would fixing a CLASSPATH help that?
I would expect it to be a problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH (ala Sabre's earlier reply).

How to run a openssl command from a java program

Hi All
Please suggest on how to run a openssl command from a java program.
I am using this
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
runtime.exec("openssl pkcs8 -inform der -nocrypt test.der result.pem");
This is suppose to take test.der as input and create result.pem.
There are no errors but the file result.pem isnt created.
Thanks in Advance

First off is that openssl command correct? Should it be this instead:
openssl pkcs8 -inform der -nocrypt -in test.der -out result.pem
Try out your openssl command within a command prompt so that you know that it works ok. I think the command line you specified waits on stdin (well it does for me).
After that.....
runtime.exec creates a Process object. If you do this:
Process openssl = runtime.exec("....")
then you can examine the return code from openssl to see the exit code - for instance if the input file does not exist then exit = 1. You can test for this with Java
Alternatively you could get the stderr from the process and look inside it - if it is 0 length then all is good, if it has some text in there then it has likely failed. You could then throw an exception and include the stderr output in the exception messgae. You may need to experiment with this, runnig it first when openssl is happy then running it again when openssl is upset.

How to run Ant from command line in Tarantella env?

I am getting Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher error message when I run Ant from tarantella command line. Is this Ant version issue? I can only find Ant with version 1.4.2. Where can I find the correct Ant version (1.6.5) and what class path do I need to specify if I want to run Ant from command line. This works if I run Ant inside of Jdeveloper 11g.

Launched from a windows command line

If my labview app is run remotely from a windows command line, is there any way to tell programmatically from a variable somewhere that it was launched by another app and not by the operator manually launching the app itself ?

Hello id,
If you have control over the application that's invoking your exe through the command line, I'd suggest using a simple custom argument that is passed to the application per this KnowledgeBase:
KnowledgeBase 1CNFGHFI: Passing Command Line Arguments to a LabVIEW Executable
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/17C3AD70493CE0208625666A00763364
You would then use the App.Args property (Application:Command Line Arguments Property) to check for your "this launched from the command line via this other application" argument, whatever it might be. I would suggest that you should only need to check for *any* arguments, if they're present then you know it's been launched via the command line. The argument could just be the name of the calling application. If you're unable to insert arguments via the invoking application, you could also use a one-line batch file that's installed with the target EXE to do the same thing (you'd run the batch file instead of the executable from the invoking application).
Determining where an application was invoked from without sending it that information explicitly is another, trickier problem- there are plenty of discussions on stackexchange and elsewhere detailing possible solutions, but if the invoked application (your EXE) isn't owned by the command prompt process I'm not sure it's possible. There are a few mentions of checking environment variables that the command prompt usually sets to see if they've been configured, but I have no experience with this.

Compile and Run From Windows Cmd Line?

Hey,
I have a Java project that I've created and run successfully from within Eclipse IDE. Now, I'm trying to compile and run from the command line so I don't have to depend on Eclipse. I can't seem to get it to work. I get tons of classpath looking errors.
Is there a way to use Eclipse such that it will show you the correct synatx to run the project from the command line?
Can anyone help me with this?
My project structure is:
MyProject
------src
---------------File1.java
---------------File2.java (main class)
------lib
---------------someFile1.jar
---------------someFile2.jar

MyProject
------src
---------------File1.java
---------------File2.java (main class)

c:\basedir> java -cp .;lib\someFile1.jar;lib\someFile2.jar src.File2

How to check system status from Windows command line?

Does anyone has an idea how to check system status from Windows command line? In UNIX we use startsap check, unfortunately I didn't find an appropriate command provided by SAP.
The only idea we have is to use
tasklist /FI "Username eq SAPService<SID>" | find "disp+work"
which isn't as nice as startsap check.

Hi,
In windows you can use the command
go to profile directory in command prompt and the give the following command to check the status of the instance.
sapstart check pf=START_DVEBMGS<nr>_<hostname>
that means you need to mention start profile or instance profile. So that it will say whether the instance is running or not.
If you want any other information please reply back to me.
Thanks,
Chaitanya.
