Unix command (in PHP)?

Im trying to build a script that will monitor a folder for files that are dropped into it and write to a log file when a new file is dropped{ File name, current time:for when it was dropped, and creation date}. From the file I will have PHP get the file contents, and parse/explode the data so I can place it onto a page (tracking page)
Is there a way to use a shell script the unix in PHP to to this?
(Don't regularly use unix so I'm not familular with all it can do)
Thanks

>Is there a way to use a shell script the unix in PHP to to this?
Not sure I understand this sentence. Are you wanting to execute a shell script from within a php script? If so, see if 'shell_exec' is what you need.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php
I'm also not sure why you'd want to call your unix script that monitors the folder from a php script. Why not use a cron job? How is the php script invoked?

  • UNIX command in ABAP code

    Hi All,
    I need to use unix command (MOVE) in ABAP code for transfering a file from one directory to another directory.
    Can any one help with how to used unix commands in ABAP?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Hemendra

    The recommended approach always used to be to use transaction SM69 to define a "soft" command name to the operating system command so that it could be configured to work across Windows, Unix etc.  For example:
    Command name       OS         Type             OS command                                 Parameters for operating system command 
    Z_FILE_MOVE        SunOS      Customer    mv                                                 ? ?   
    You can then call function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE (quite well documented) to actually perform the command passing in the appropriate number of parameters.

    Hi kunal,
    1. probably ur basis team might be able to help u.
    2. even if we have authorisations thru sap
       to run external os command,
       the actual OS user on application server
       must have the right for it
       and access/write/read/modify
       for the files (provided thru the command)
       in question.
    3. Due to this , the systems gives the message
       of SECURITY RISK.

  • Is there a way to change the VNC password thru unix command in ARD2?

    In a local network, I get access denied errors from macs that have the vnc password different than the Administrative login user password. I needed to change the Admistrator password which I did thru the Unix command in ARD2.
    Now.
    Is there a way to change the VNC password thru unix command in ARD2?
    Example:
    remote computer setup
    Panther 10.3.9
    vnc password - gopher
    user ID - testARD with admin rights
    user password - backdoor
    ARD2 Computer setup
    10.4.10
    login ID - testARD
    password - backdoor
    I get the blue icon but get an 'access denied' error.
    I change the password from backdoor to gopher.
    I get the red with dash icon but, can get access to the computer.
    What is going on? Is ARD2 using the VNC resource instead of ARDs resources?

    A quick search of Google finds this <http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/settingremote_desktops_vnc_password_interminal>. I have not tested this myself.

  • How to generate a empty file in AL11 using ABAP and unix command

    Hi Experts,
    when load infopackage triggers it will search file from AL11 if file is available it will get loaded successfully.  When there is no file in AL11 error while opening file (orgin A) and the load will fail.  At this level i have to write a abap code using unix command to generate a empty file.
    Is there any way to achieve the above requirement.
    Thanks
    Vara

    Hi,
    If i get your requirement properly then you want to create a blank file if there is no file on the application server so that your infopackage does not fail, am i correct.
    If this is your requirement then this can be easily done if you use process chain to load the file via infopackage. Follow the following steps:
    1. Add a ABAP program before the infopackage and check if the file is present on the server or not. Use a simple ABAP statement OPEN DATASET <FNAME>. Check the SY-SUBRC after this statement if it is not 0 then it means that the file does not exist on the application server.
    2. Once you have established that the file is not present create a flat file using a code similar to the below one
    OPEN DATASET FILENAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
                          MESSAGE D_MSG_TEXT.
    IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
      WRITE: 'File cannot be opened. Reason:', D_MSG_TEXT.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    * Transferring Data
    LOOP AT INT_table.
      TRANSFER INT_table-field1 TO FILENAME.
    ENDLOOP.
    * Closing the File
    CLOSE DATASET FILENAME.
    3. Add your infopackage step after this ABAP program in your process chain.
    I hope this helps.

  • Terminal - how to find my external hard drive using unix commands

    just discovered terminal and using cd and ls commands, which are the only commands i know, i realized that i can't find my external hard drive. i thought it would be listed on my desktop, as it is in the OSX interface, but it isn't there.
    not that im skilled enough to use terminal yet, but i thought the first step would be being able to navigate the computer's files.
    really curious as to where my external hard drive is and how i can find it using unix commands in terminal.
    i was trying to figure it out myself, then i thought surely someone knows this and could tell me in a sec.
    thanks.
    ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  
    ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    "ls /Volumes" will list all volumes, including internal and external hard drives and mounted disk images. I find "disktool -l" more useful in scripts, as it tells you which volume names correspond to which "mount points" under /Volumes. Usually they're the same, but if you have two volumes with the same name, or you try to remount a removable volume before it is fully unmounted, you'll end up with a mount point that consists of the volume name with a numerical suffix.

  • Calling unix command in Apex Window

    I am working on a small project where in; it would be handy to run an external plsql in oracle database which calls for unix command such as tail -f alert.log or tail -1000 alert.log when a button is pressed in the application.
    I know the client and server aspect and very difficult to forward the server output to Application specially web based but still thought of trying my luck to get some insights from this forum .
    Is this possible in Apex ?
    UK

    Don't see why not. All the building blocks are there (assuming a recent version of the database, and that 1000 is a realistic metric of the data volume):
    1. A script to run the required UN*X commands.
    2. An initial log extract file created manually using the script.
    3. An external table on the log extract file.
    4. An external scheduler job to rerun the log extract script to refresh the log extract.
    5. An APEX page with a report based on the external table, and a button that calls the external job.
    Note that providing relevant information when asking a question is helpful in determining a solution:
    - APEX version
    - DB version and edition
    - Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener)
    - Browser(s) used
    - Theme used
    - Templates used

  • "at" UNIX Command in Java Program

    Friends,
    1. "at" command in UNIX execute Unix command at a scheduled time. 2. For each user there will be a table maintained internally which can be accessed by "at" with "-l" argument.
    3. A mail will be sent to the owner with the output of the commands as a message.
    I tried to run the "at" command of Unix in JSP, which gets succesfully executed in Oracle 10g App Server container (Installed in Solaris machine). I have tested the successful execution of command with the log file. But I haven't got any mail for the output. If anyone had any idea, please help me.
    The code I have wtitten is
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc = rt.exec(new String[] {"sh","-c","at 2115 Dec 7 < /export/home/usr1/abc.sh"});
    InputStream stderr = proc.getErrorStream();
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stderr);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line = null;
    logger.info("<ERROR>");
    while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
    logger.info(line);
    logger.info("</ERROR>");
    int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
    logger.info("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
    My doubts are:
    1. Who is the owner of the output of "at"command, which gets executed under Oracle 10g App Server container?
    2. If no one is the owner, then where will the output of "at" command will go?
    3. Is there any other way to execute "at" command of UNIX in java program? If so, then please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards

    filestream I have to ask - what's a chav ?
    I have doubts abut what it is :-)
    Seriously though, what is that an abbreviation for?
    That's a new one to me.
    http://www.chavscum.co.uk
    chavs are roughly analogous to rednecksI wouldn't use that analogy. While both may lack certain social graces, rednecks typically don't receive ASBOs.
    Chavs favor small cars with lots of bling whereas rednecks are likely to drive a pickup or a large sedan.
    Chavs have pitbulls in their yards (gardens), rednecks an '84 Mustang LX on cinder blocks.
    etc, etc.

    Yes, at the begining, I'll tried the unix shell by calling SQL.
    I've the problem of passing the parameters through.
    It seems to me
    we can use
    Host in the SQLPLUS to run the unix command.
    but I've written it in my sqlplus script, it doesn't work. so I wanna to find an exemple how to use HOST in sqlplus script?
    I would have loved to give you an example..but its not unix on my laptop.
    But what i can tell you is...u should be doing otherway round.
    Not calling Unix commands from SQL but calling SQL's form unix.
    You got shell scripts for that.
    Write a shell script. Login to SQL execute your code.
    exit from sql and then move your file with MV. That's it.
    Do post how far you get after trying this.
