Running interactive commands via WFA

So I am using WFA to deploy my storage systems. For tasks, where there is no commands I am using InvokeWFACluster-CLI.The problem with this is there are some commands that needs a input like the following --security login create -username <username> -application ontapi -authmethod password -role admin -vserver <admin_vservername>-- Is there a way I can provide the password without requiring the user input. In this case, WFA doesn't prompt for a user input either. Thanks,-Prasad

prasadkm0204, You need to look to solve the problem of NO WFA Provided commands in the following order: 1. Look for a Posh cmdlet and create your own WFA commands using those. This will almost certianly solve your problem. Powershell cmdlets for almost everything that is possible to do with a cluster/array is provided. See the documentation on this at WFA->Help->Support Links -> Powershell cmdlets Help. See my code example provided here for the specific case of creating a security login account: WFA Input Type of 'password' issues 2. If at all there is no Powershell cmdlet available for a task, you can create WFA commands using SDK and ZAPIs. They are bundled for Posh and Perl languages. 3. Invoking direct InvokeWfaCluster-CLI is okay but not what I would recommend to use. Not that this will not work, or will create any unwanted issues. It will be fine mostly excapt it may end up askign for User-Inputs. Also the command output unlike ZAPI or Posh cmdlets is returned in string format and those are compatively difficult to parse and loop through or be useful in creating advanced level commands. One liners its fine. You'll start to face this as you develope more commands. sinhaa

Running interactive command with Runtime.exec

I'm trying to run a command via the Runtime.exec interface.
Occasionally, the command needs to prompt for additional information. The response depends on the specific configuration, however, the command returns a list of options and then waits for a response.
However, when the command waits for the response, my Java app hangs.
After I call Runtime.exec, I create 2 threads to consume the contents of stderr and stdout. I then start them and call proc.waitFor()
I would expect to see the output of the command in the stdout stream even though the command hasn't exited. I had hoped to parse the output to determine the necessary response. However, the calls to read the contents of the stdout and stderr streams block and I never see any output.
How can I get access to the contents of those streams while the command is still running? Is this supported through the Runtime.exec interface?
Thanks,
Shawn

Total nube to jws, need to run ssh command via web or jws?

Ok So we had a developer that created this application that can basically run ssh commands via jws I believe. Unfortunately he is no longer here. I am wondering how you do this? I know tha commands that are already set up, but I have no idea how to implement it into my project.
I am using Struts 2, Java 5, Weblogic 9.2, Spring
Thanks

Have a look at:
http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/
basically you'd need a small webstart client to wrap something like the above library. Best thing is to try with a standalone java client first. Once that is working have a look at turning it into a webstart app.

Running Interactive commands in java and displaying the output.

Hi All,
I'm running a sample code to execute a user defined command (cmd1) and display the results. The output of the command when executed in command prompt is
(1) Executing the command cmd1
(2) Do you want to continue(Y/N)_ <waits for user input>
(3) Based on user input
(Y) Displays the results
(N) Interrupted
But i'm facing problem when i execute the below code. When the results are being displayed instead of displaying line(1) and (2) and then waiting for the input- the code waits for the input and then only displays the results.
O/p
inside output
inside input
y (------ gets the input and then only displays the results).
Executing the command cmd1
Do you want to continue(Y/N)
results
Please help out how to resolve this issue.

Console input is line buffered. This means you only get the first character a line after the newline has been inputed.
The same thing happen if you just type on the console.
I am not aware of any simple way around this.
IDEs get around this by changing the application run so that the input/output is captured as it happens and sent over a socket connection.

How to create script that run sudo-command, via automator?

Hi
I'd want to create script to automate one command I need quite often. I just can't get this to work.
I'm not using english OS, but I think this is what I do. In automator I choose Utilities -> Run script
Here's the script I try to run:
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh --restart"
I found some tip to do it like this:
do shell script "sudo /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh --restart password "pass" with administrator privileges
Where pass is my admin password.
This does not work, either.
Could anybody help me on this?
Thanks...
Tomi Toivonen
Message was edited by: Tomi

This is not working. What's wrong?
What's wrong is that the '--restart' is a parameter for boot.sh, and therefore needs to be included within the quotes.
Additionally, the shell uses spaces to divide parameters, so the spaces in the command will make it appear as multiple commands - '/Library/Application', 'Support/VMware' and 'Fusion/boot.sh'. You need to escape them using a backslash:
<pre class=command>do shell script "/Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/boot.sh --restart" password "pass" with administrator privileges</pre>
If it's outside of the quotes it would be interpreted as a parameter to 'do shell script' and it won't know what to do with that.

How do I tell unix to run a command via AppleScript?

I have an AppleScript within which I want to start a job running on a remote linux box. Previously in these forums someone helped me do this using the line:
tell application "Terminal" to do script ("rsh Linux_box -l Myuserid scripttorun")
however, this creates a Terminal window that hangs around that I'd rather not have there at all. From within the script, can I just tell the underlying unix system to directly run the rsh command without going through a Terminal?
Thanks.

Don't tell Terminal, use do shell script:
do shell script "rsh Linux_box -l Myuserid scripttorun"

Zsh and interactive commands.

I'm having a strange issue with zsh. I run it as my login shell, but when I run interactive commands within it in Terminator (like pacman, or yaourt), special keys and keycombos like Enter and Ctrl-C stop working, and just output text (^M for Enter, ^C for Ctrl-C). I read about this being a problem with certain programs changing the state of the shell and not changing it back, and in fact I can fix this temporarily by running
reset && ttyctl -f
but the problem returns with every new instance of Terminator I launch.
How can I make this fix persistent? Thanks in advance.

Running a Command Line via a Package

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the following command line via a package to my servers but for some reason the results are as expected. The command I am trying to run is:
reg add "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\softwareprotectionplatform" /f /v "KeyManagementServiceName" /t reg_sz /d "dc4hmancmddc1.mydomain.local"
When I look in the log files on the server the command is being executed as:
<![LOG[Command line = "C:\Windows\system32\reg.exe" add "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\softwareprotectionplatform" /f /v "KeyManagementServiceName" /t reg_sz /d "dc4hmancmddc1.mydomain.local",
Working Directory = C:\Windows\system32\]LOG]!><time="12:44:32.391+00" date="02-24-2014" component="execmgr" context="" type="1" thread="3976" file="scriptexecution.cpp:346">
Why is this is not working? If I run the command manually on the server, it works and reg key is updated correctly.
PS: I am probably being really stupid here but any help is appreciated.
Thank You
Mayur

Hi,
Just looking at the logs file, I see this:
<![LOG[Running "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" /c "C:\windows\system32\reg.exe add "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\softwareprotectionplatform" /f /v "KeyManagementServiceName" /t reg_sz /d "dc4hmancmddc1.osmanage.local" with 32bitLauncher]LOG]!><time="13:06:32.677+00"
date="02-24-2014" component="execmgr" context="" type="1" thread="4024" file="scriptexecution.cpp:364">
It is launching it with 32bit launcher. So is this still a problem with 64bit redirection?
The thing is before trying this reg fix I tried several times to run command: slmgr.vbs /skms servername.local via a packag which executed successfully but again the KMS server wasn't updated. So something tells me this is a different problem?

Running an update via command line on demand

In my organization, we are designing a new public access system where the computers will be protected with "rollback" software so no changes are retained. Updates will be handled in a maintainance window and include Windows Updates, Anti Virus Definitions and hopefully Flash Player, Acrobat Reader and Shockwave Player. The "snapshot" of the disk is then updated.
Is there a way of running the update on demand, I have tried running the EXE that the scheduled task calls, but that doesn't seem to do much (maybe it only runs for the system account?)
I cannot rely on the automatic update happening to run in the maintainance window and I need to have output of when the update has completed whether there was or was not an update performed.
Needless to say, all this needs to be able to run silently.
Any suggestions are gratefully accepted.
Martin

I had looked at this before, but had hoped i could just run a command and parse a "No available updates" or "Successfully Updated" ruturn or something. If this is the only way to do it, then it looks like I will have to have an mms.cfg with settings:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
AutoUpdateInterval=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
And if I'm reading the documents correctly, I need to then launch a web page that uses Flash to prompt the update? If so, that's easy enough, just open a web page to the Adobe page that shows when an update is successful?
I can then monitor the log file to see what is going on.

Running ssh command in a java application

Hi there!
I am trying to run a ssh command from a java application cause I need to store the result.
Actually I can run this command in the cygwin shell so I need to open the shell and run the command, all trough java.
so, what my process needs to do is:
1) open the cmd
2) run C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
3) execute the ssh command
ssh -l fip-user ipdb fip 42704) print the result of the ssh command.
Note that the cygwin opens in the same command line window and so will print it's result to the same process inputstream
Message was edited by:
RBervini

Use "Runtime.getRuntime().exec()" to execute the SSH program,
and you can then get the output of the SSH program
via the getInputStream() method on the returned Process object.
Note: there are many pitfalls with this. In particular, most people don't know
they should create separate threads to drain the input/output pipes.
See this excellent classic article http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html

Ways to run dir command in Process and get Output

Hello,
In one of the control in our web application, User can select any directory from his work area and can get list of directories and content of directories i.e. list of files. As working on file object is really slow so the performance is extremely poor. I am thinking of using Process object and run dir command for any directory selected by user and show the directory listing to user.
Do you guys think it would be possible

Its always good to work with IO buffer than low level file api. That should be irrelevant to the question as asked (if not then there might be other problems.)This is no way irrelevant but its a fact. Working with Java File api to traverse the content of the directory is really painful. Because we currently use file api to help user to traverse thru her work area.
BTW, there are two servers. One running the app and the other have all users work areas. User can traverse the workareas content by using something \\server1\workarea1\user1\folder1 etc... in the app to see the content of any folder.A "server" in this context would be an "application" such as something like tomcat. Your client would then ask the "server" for information.
In your case you are dealing with another file system via the windows remote file system access. So per my question it is not another "server".A server is what providing service to a client and in our case its a app server with a web app in it. The users use the web app to manage their work area(which is another file server).
The app server and file server and physically two separate machines.
So again, I am back to my first question, how can run dir command using Process object and get the buffer.
Till now, I have done this
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("cmd", "dir", "c:/");
        pb.directory( new File("C:/temp")); // Or whatever directory you want for cwd
        Map<String,String> env = pb.environment();
        env.put("PATH", "C:/temp");
        try {
             Process process = pb.start();
               InputStream inStream = process.getInputStream();
               new AsyncPipe(process.getErrorStream(), System.out).start();
             new AsyncPipe(process.getInputStream(), System.out).start();
             final int returnCode = process.waitFor();
             System.out.println("Return code is " + returnCode);
               System.out.println("\nExit value = " + inStream + "\n");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }However it simply opens command prompt
