Scripting PurgeCache.sh

Question

I need to script running PurgeCache.sh so that it can be run by an automated task. However it appears that PurgeCache.sh only accepts its input values via console input (prompts for userid, password, host). I can't seem to find a way to pass the values in from a script. Anyone know of a way to do this?

You can use this code once you have an instance of the oimClient.

public void purgeCache(){
PlatformUtilsService service = (PlatformUtilsService)oimClient.getService(PlatformUtilsService.class);
List success = new ArrayList();
List failure = new ArrayList();
String[] purgeItems = new String[] {"All"};
for (int i = 0; i < purgeItems.length; i++) {
success.add(purgeItems);
try {
service.purgeCache(purgeItems[i]);
}catch (InvalidCacheCategoryException e) {
success.remove(purgeItems[i]);
failure.add(purgeItems[i]);
if (success.size() > 0) System.out.println("Purging the cache categories:" + success + " is successful");
if (failure.size() > 0) System.out.println("Purging the cache categories:" + failure + " failed");

I found this by decompiling the OIMServer.jar and looking at the class that is called in the PurgeCache script. Fairly simple.
