'Runtime' help under XP

All I want to be able to do is open up explorer to a specific directory and I can't work out the command.
I can use;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("calc.exe");successfully for example or any other windows exe in any directory in the windows environment
however;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("DivFix.exe", null, new File("D:\\Backup\\Utils\\DivFix")); doesn't work (throws IOException) and I can't see what im doing wrong! And yes, I've checked and double checked the path.
stacktrace =
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: DivFix.exe error=2
     at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method)
     at java.lang.Win32Process.<init>(Win32Process.java:66)
     at java.lang.Runtime.execInternal(Native Method)
......rest is just GUI event handling stuff......
I doubt I'd have to specify a working directory in order to open up an explorer window for example, so the 2nd example code maybe irrelevant regarding the original question but it'd be useful to know for future reference. So I guess im asking two different questions here :/

That's most odd, if I use the 'listFiles()' method and loop thru the array it clearly shows it I can see the 2 files in there .exe and .ini - I've tried with a few more different files (checked the same way) and im always better an error 2 in the stack trace....any ideas?

Where is the ARH (AIR Runtime Helper) utility?

Hello,
AIR Runtime redistributable documentation mentions the ARH (AIR Runtime Helper) which is a tool that can detect which version of the AIR runtime and which version of my app is installed on the user's machine. However I cannot find this utility anywhere - it's not avaiable on the Run-time redistribution page or AIR SDK page.
Where this utility is supposed to be?
Thank you,
Anatoly

Hi Anatoly,
I could not find the download link for ARH either, so I used the email address in the Adobe Software Distribution Request approval email, which is: [email protected]
I got a response from Rob Christensen that they can be found here:
Mac: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/distribution/latest/mac/arh
Win: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/distribution/latest/win/arh.exe
Linux: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/distribution/latest/lin/arh

I ask to help under repair MS-6398.

I ask to help under repair MS-6398. Mosfet marked as "С5001" has burned down. Probably MSI
has destroyed the present (true) marks of a microcircuit. I ask to help to pick up analogue.
MS-6398 the worthy motherboard, but does not work from such trifle.

If the board is still under warrenty MSI will take care of it.

Catch Runtime Exceptions under 46C

Hello experts,
My programme executes a dynamic open sql and the requirement is, my programme should never result in an ABAP short dump.
With ABAP release 610, I can catch class based exceptions like cx_sy_dynamic_osql_error, but under 46C, I can only use CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS, but no sql exceptions can be found in the runtime error list, that means no sql exceptions are perceived as catchable runtime errors.
Therefore, could you advise how I should handle the runtime exceptions and not cause the ABAP short dump, please?
Thanks and best regards,
James

will TRY and the CATCH statement be of any use ?

Runtime.exec() under a specific user account ???

Hi there,
I cann't figure out how to run a script on Unix under a specific user account using the Runtime.exec(). Currently whoever run the java program, the script is ran under that user account.
The code is like:
public class javarun {
public static void main(String[] arg) {
String str = "myunixscript";
// check the arg[1] to decide the appropriate environment.
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
Process pr = r.exec(str);
pr.waitFor();
int exitstatus = pr.exitValue();
} catch (...) {...}
We have two user accounts: unixusr1 and unixusr2. Now I need to have unixusr1 run the java program ( ie. unixusr1$ java javarun), while the "myunixscript" be executed under unixusr2. One further step is to the unix account name as a parameter so the unixscript could be run under different account.
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Edward.

I'm not sure if I have a solution, but here are some questions:
a) have you tried writing additional input to the OutputStream of the process? Although I have not tried it, I would imagine that Process.getOutputStream() exists for commands that require the invoking resource to send additional input to the process- like an su command that requires a password check.
b) can you just write a shell script that takes the needed information as an argument. That is, write a shell script that takes the username and password as an argument and then you can use Runtime like,
Runtime.exec("myScript", new String[] { "hisId", "hisPasswd" });Obviously, you would need to think through the security concerns of such a script, but, if it complies with the security structure of your environment, it might allow you to avoid the problem by using the shell script to invoke the destination command with the proper UID and password, rather then using the JVM to invoke it. Basically, the script becomes a proxy for the JVM to invoke that command.

Runtime Help

Hi friends,
Am developing an application that users send an SMS text message to a number and
a Java program sequentially queris the phone for new messages ang processes them
, sending a reply to the requester.
Here is s snippet of the 'kernel' of the SMS detector
// ---snip
public void saveAllSMS()
        try
            // Get the SMS'es one by one (Nokia 3310)
        for (int i = 1; i < 21; i++)
             Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
          // Get the SMS through GAMMU
          Process proc = rt.exec("gammu --getsms SM " + String.valueOf(i));
          InputStream stdin = proc.getInputStream();
          InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stdin);
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
          while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
                    content += line + "\n";
                // Parse the content of the SMS'es to the databases
                //String query = "INSERT INTO smsRequests VALUES... //--SNIP
        catch (Exception e)
            System.err.println(e);
            System.exit(0);
// ---snipNow, I would like to execute
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("gammu --getsms SM " + String.valueOf(i));right after the SMS has been sent into the database, but the process of deleting
fails coz the ports for connecting to the phone is still under lock from the
running process. If I try to delete all SMS'es at once it poses a risk as some
unprocessed SMS'es get deleted in the process. How can I run this deleting task
of that particular SMS just after sending its content to the database?

first off, your for loop is capped at 21 runs, why is
that?
secondly, why not just make all your database updates
(1 for each message) and then, at the end once all
values have been inserted, delete all the messages at
once.OK, that loop executes 20 times(basic loops in Java, remember?) Then this is why I dont delete all at once:
Suppose that there are three SMS'es in the phone.
rt.exec("gammu --getsms SM " + String.valueOf(i)); will get the SMS'es one by
one and into the database they go. Now suppose that GAMMU is reading the 16th
SMS and at that time a new text message arrives and it goes into position 4 of
the sim card. This SMS has not been sent into the database and at the end of the
cycle if I do "gammu --deleteallsms SM 1 20" all the SMS'es are deleted (including the new,
unprocessed one!) This is the bug am trying to work around

Runtime help please

Greetings,
First off I will admit that this a part of a project for school. I am not asking for anyone to "give me code" or to "do it for me". I am having a problem tracing a runtime error with the below code. The error only occurs when you choose a selection from the jmenu (null pointer execption on line xyz). the jmenu is supposed to update the display in the JComboBox via the setSelectedItem() and the null pointer points towards the line for the setSelectedItem(). Any assistance in pointing me towards the source of the error is appreciated.

Unsecure socket to secure socket at runtime /help required

I have an IMAP4 server in Java. I want to implement RFC2595 (TLS support) for it.
Now I can listen on a separate secure socket, and use the various examples provided by JSSE to do this.
However, this is discouraged in the RFC. It recommends using the unsecure port 143 and negotiating a secure connection via the STARTTLS command.
The STARTTLS is sent unencrypted. Once the server accepts the STARTTLS and returns an OK response to the client an SSL negotiation is supposed to take place.
My question is how do I achieve this with JSSE.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Vikash

Does SSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Socket,...) work for you? Haven't used it myself, but it's supposed to be for exactly this case.
Good luck!

CR 2008 SP2 x64 Runtime - HELP!

Okay - so MSFT with Server 2008R2 no longer 32bit(x86) support...
So where is the CR 2008 SP2 Runtime for x64 !!
Is SAP a MSFT Partner? - how do they get product certification? Guess they don't get CR tested do they!
Gary

The Next version of CR will be 64 bit, not sure of all of the details yet though.
You can always stay on supported platforms, and yes CR 2008 is Certifiable on platforms we do support.
Windows 2008 64 bit will still run 32 bit applications, you can use it as an APP server and use a 32bit WEB server OS.
SP2 [Platforms|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/00225757-ab5c-2c10-c1a8-fb9f9f0f4ac2] link:
[Updated line below]
Windows 2008 Release 2 ( which is 64 bit only ) has not been added to the supported platforms for this reason.
Thank you

Launch Acrobat Reader with Runtime.exec() under WINNT4, without absolut pat

Hi,
I would like to launch Acrobat Reader from a Swing application. This works fine with Runtime.exec() as long as I provide the full path to the AcroRd32.exe. The problem is that I cannot predict the location of this exe on the systems of the users. Athough is in the Windows PATH, since I can launch from the windows execute-dialog, the Runtime.exec() is not able to locate the file.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!

hey BIJ, thank you so much man. start really does wonders!! i was stuck with invoking a fortran program for last couple of days and now i went through your postings and tried with start. it did work!!

Help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.
it is going into the catch block and hitting me an error instead of executing try block.Any idea why this is happening..???No and we will never know because you don't display an error message in the catch block.

Audio Help Under ALSA

Hey,
I can't get sound working (just none of it).
According to audio via lspci | grep -i audio I have the following card:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
I followed all the directions at the arch sound wiki but to no avail...
Here is the modules line of my rc.conf file:
MODULES=(i2c-i801 eeprom coretemp !ath_pci wl lib80211_crypt_tkip !snd_intel8x0m)
I really don't know anything about sound, just followed the wiki, if there's any other files/information you need that can better assist you, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ah, yes, sorry, should have known to include the grep of snd from the modules, here:
lsmod | grep snd

soundcore 6112 2 snd
snd_page_alloc 8124 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
As for the the second command, no idea what that is, but here it is :-P.
amixer sget PCM

Limits: Playback 0 - 255
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 217 [85%] [-7.60dB]
Front Right: Playback 217 [85%] [-7.60dB]
I appreciate the effort thus far, comparing the lsmod of mine to the lsmod of the arch wiki I feel that some kernel modules may have not been installed. Although I followed all the directions for sound on the arch wiki so I don't know.
