Hi,
Please let me know if there is unix command to make out whether sunone webserver is running on 32/64 bit.
Thanks,
Bushan

If your web server is 6.0x, then
ps -ef | grep httpdIf your web server is 6.1x, then
ps -ef | grep webservd
user PID PPID 0 webservd -r webserver_root -d webserver_root/https-admserv/config -n https-admservRegards

Unix command to make list of file name

Hi Gurus,
I have seen post how to process multiple file from johngoodwin.blogspot.com.
But what is the equlivalent command in unix to list all file names.
I want one text file will contain all text file name and another text file will contain all csv filenames.
Need some suggestion.Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi please follow below steps.
vi yourfilename.sh
then in edit mode put your command
then save it by pressing esc : q (escape colon q)
Now your file will be there. just run that script file in OS Command.But that file should be accessible or else give the full path for that script file.
Thanks

Cant send UNIX commands via ARD

I have ARD, and the option to send UNIX commands is greyed out. Help?

On the client, apple menu, system preferences, sharing, Remote Management.
If allow access is set to all users, then click the options button.
else, select the user your using to connect to the client, and then click the option button.
Make sure every thing is checked.
click ok
try again on ARD.
Other things to try:
quit and re-open ARD.
delete, then and re-add the client computer from ARD.
unchecking, and then re- checking remote management on the client. (to force the service to restart)

Problem in integrating sunone webserver with websphere app server

Hello all
I am trying to integrate sunone6.0 webserver with websphere5.0 app server. I did the following changes in sunone6.0 config files
1) Added one directive to the obj.conf file after "<Object name=default>":
Service fn="as_handler"
2) Added two directives to the end of the magus.conf file:
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="as_init,as_handler,as_term" shlib="/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/libns41_http.so"
Init fn="as_init" bootstrap.properties="/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml"

Using ARD to send UNIX command to add item to dock

The ARD 3 Admin Guide, page 132, says the following command sequence will install an item in the dock of the target computer(s):
4) Type or paste the following UNIX command (replace /PathToApplication with your own path to the desired application, and be sure to include the application file extension, .app):
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '<dict><key>tiledata</
key><dict><key>file-data</key>
<dict><key>CFURLString</key><string>/Path_ToApplication
</string><key>_CFURLStringType</key><integer>0</integer></dict>
</dict></dict>';killall -HUP Dock
Use “persistent-others” instead of “persistent-apps” if the item is anything other than an application.
I am unable to make it work. Could anyone help with the correct syntax or suggestions as to how to perform a remote addition to the target computer dock.

Do you have JSS? I ask because your script contains the word JAMF allot.. if you do have a jss, is there a reason your trying to use ARD instead of your JSS to run this script?
When issuing the script from ARD as a send unix command, Have you cosnidered using the option to run command as user "root" ?
are you sure you want to do this? the script look like it dose more then just disable the isite. And do you know how to undo this if you change your mind?

Find out whether our application caused the memory leak

whether have the command to find out whether our application caused the memory leak !
We are using Jdev10g + BC4J + Struts + JSP to build our enterprise application,
but when the application running some days in our Application Server(RedHat AS3-86, with 4GB RAM), the memory consumed is serious ! we doubt and worry
about maybe our application suffer the memory leak problem, so we want to know have the command to find out whether our application caused the memory leak
issue and which program is the major murderer for memory.

The second scenario is, as we perform some deployment activity on 10g, the memory usage chart shows a sharp consumption of memory about 1.5GB .the loss memory almost be display in "other" legend chart !
Please give us some advice , thanks in advance

What is the absolute client permission needed to receive Unix commands?

The ARD error "This task is not authorized on (computerName)" is forcing me to allow almost all the privileges in the Remote Management section of client computer's Sharing System Preferences. I've already had to add:
"open and quit applications"
"change settings"
"delete and replace items"
"restart and shutdown" (see this Apple document's suggestion for Unix commands)
"copy items"
It makes no sense to my why 'Generate reports' must also be added, but clicking it off makes the error return. I'm just triggering a Unix command that goes something like "echo 1" and runs as root on the one test computer (and potentially dozens, so it wouldn't be pretty changing settings in that many) If it helps, the ARD host is 10.6.7 with ARD 3.4 (installed via the App Store a couple weeks ago) and the clients are 10.4.11 and 10.5.8.
I'm preparing documentation for ARD and some clients installing our software will not warm to the idea of widening up the permissions footprint. Potentially dozens of computers will need to be retweaked, even if they wouldn't have to leave their seat.
We also will need to deploy a pkg installer, so some of those may need to remain checked, but ...
What is the absolute client permission needed to receive Unix commands?

Have you tried sending it as User: Root
To my knowledge with that setting you do not need any client permissions as a unix command used as Root overides any permission set. If this is something you need to do often I do know for a fact you can make the report task up use send as Root and tell it to save as template. After this you will be able use the templte to make things a bet quicker. I believe in oder to do this you must enable root user open Directory Utility in order to do this. Keep in mind root has full permissions and any command you enter with unix will be executed as such. This is a word around in the way that the normal client users do not need to have permissions enabled, also having root available at times is handy in stick situations.

To find whether a form using HOST (Unix) command to exit/execute a process.

Hi all,
I have some(Little bit) knowledge on forms.But here I got one requirement which was confusing me .The requirement is ,we have nearly 70 custom forms developed
using TEMPLATE.fmb.Now I have to open each and every form and have to check whether that form is using any HOST (unix) command to exit to the shell and
execute a process .I never got this type of requirement previously .Can any one help in how to search for those commands ,I.e is there any standard to use Unix call in
particular trigger or etc..
Thanks in advance .
Regards,
Gopi.CH

Your question is a little unclear. The "HOST" command is an Oracle Forms built-in command which allows you to execute OS commands. So the only part of it that belongs to forms is the part that looks like HOST(). The contents within the parentheses would be the command you wanted to execute. For example:
HOST('/path/to/your/script.sh');Refer to the Forms Builder online help for more information about how to use the HOST command.

Please help to find out a way to make it work ..
Kunal

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.

I am having problems executing a command in Java. Here's the code I have for executing:

     while((display = input.readLine()) != null)
                         num_1 = Double.parseDouble(display);
                         percent = (num_1 * 100) / (50000000);
                    flip = 1;

Having trouble in running a unix command and getting the output

Hi,
I am trying to run a unix command from within the java code. I am not able to make it work. I am enclosing the code and the error message that I am getting. Any help is highly appreciated.
import java.io.*;
public class RunCommand {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        String s = null;
        try {
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cat UNIX_ASCII_TEXT_FILE | A_UNIX_PROGRAM -d");
            BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
            BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
            // read the output from the command
            System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
            while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(s);
            // read any errors from the attempted command
            System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
            while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(s);
            System.exit(0);
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("exception happened - here's what I know: ");
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(-1);
}The error message that I am getting is
Here is the standard output of the command:
SLu|%%$$=
Here is the standard error of the command (if any):
cat: cannot open |
cat: cannot open A_UNIX_PROGRAM
cat: cannot open -dLooks like the cat command is working and not the pipe command and the command after the pipe. But when I run the UNIX command from the command prompt I get the expected result.

You might read this article and see if its approach works.

Unix command to click button on dialog box and close windows?

I administer an elementary school computer lab of 35 eMacs all with OS 10.4.7 and with ARD 3.0. Our network server configuration requires a mounted server on each desktop in order to administer certain software packages we use. Every morning at start-up I have to walk around and manually click "Connect" on the dialog boxes. Then, with this configuration, each time a server is mounted, it opens up a Finder Window on the host machine so I've got to walk around and close windows on all the machines. I'm sure there must be an AppleScript or Unix command that I can set up to do these two tasks but I've not found it (or learned how to write it) in a few days of searching. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

OK guys,
I just succeeded in saving the AppleScript command as an application. I put it in the Login Items just after the servers. It worked beautifully! No more open windows exposing sensitive files to the risks of elementary students (how come the mounted volumes always appear on the desktop even when the "hide" button is checked?). It would be great if the mounted volumes were not showing at least in a setting like a school computer lab.
Now, I'm still dealing with the mounting process requiring me to manually click on "Connect" every time. The Student account doesn't even have a password just to make such things easier. Still the process displays this:
(Oh well, I guess I can't insert a ScreenShot.)
Here's what it says: Connect to the file server "server name."
Connect as: Registered User
Name: "account name"
√Remember password in keychain
(and then two buttons) Cancel or Connect
That's where I'm at right now. My district Tech. Support folks say that there's no way to avoid the dialog box but John seems to do it OK. They also pointed me to an online source (www.bombich.com) that I haven't yet checked out.
Thanks again,
Dan

UNIX command required to elevate end user Admin privs on mac

Hi All,
I thought this would be easy but we've drawn a blank.
So much detail online and in the ARD manual seems to be about setting admin priveledges for end users of actual ARD.
What we would like to do is to make the user an administrator of their computer temporarily.
So rather than browse to their computer, take control, log them out, log in as administrator, go to accounts and then select eheir account and tick the "Allow user to admister this computer" box - I was looking for a UNIX command that coudl be sent.
Any help greatfully recieved.
thanks
Gareth

I believe this will work, but test it on a testbed system first. Send the following UNIX command to the target computers:
dscl / -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership ARDusername
where "ARDusername" is the user you want to add to the admin group. To remove the user's admin rights, substitute -delete for -append.
Hope this does the job for you. If not, it should be close, so persual of the man page for dscl should help you to the correct syntax.
Regards.

Unix Command to Move Folders back into Directory

As you can see from my previous thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3138884?tstart=0
I ended up reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6.0 after using "mkdir" and "mv" Unix commands to move my old files to a "previous" folder and I'm still trying to access my account because it's Vile Vault protected. I wish I knew how to move my old folders out from previous into /volumes/macintosh\ HD
Basically it looks like this right now
~/Volumes/Macintosh/HD\ Previous (I'm not even sure if that's written the right way
I need to move all of the folders out from Previous into ~/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD and deleting the existing ones in it.
All I want to do is have my old Kernel Panic back because I know how to fix it now.
Thank you very much!

I don't have this problem at all, and I can't make any suggestions on how to fix it. Maybe you should post a separate thread in the Using the Forums Forum.
So in the end I went against your advice and moved Applications and Users back to their original folder in HD and I logged in just fine! Well, I did have to boot into single user mode to restore Admin Privileges by creating a new account and then changing Privileges. Some programs didn't start up but it's okay, I know which ones rely on System and whatnot but at least I have nearly everything in its original place and I can back it all up.
Ahh, you're made of sterner stuff than me !
Best Buy has $99 1TB WD Passport SE's (The USB 3.0 Version actually!) so I grabbed one immediately and set up Time Machine.
Sounds like a good choice.
Seriously, what other way can you ensure that your data is safe without using File Vault? I use Truecrypt for some things that I don't access much, but daily operations? I'd rather just put up with the sluggish performance of FV!
I think it depends on what level of security you need. Do you routinely have files that simply must not be read by a third party if your computer gets stolen?
FV has always struck me as a hammer to crack a nut, and if something goes wrong you can't even take the disk to a data recovery specialist to get your information back.
On occasions when I have data that must be kept secure I use Disk Utility to set up an encrypted sparse bundle, which I keep on the desktop. When I need to access files in the bundle then I double click on it and enter the password to mount it. A minor problem with this is that TM will copy across the whole sparse bundle even if just one file on it is edited. Even so, it's not really a problem since TM is working in the background.
Thank you for all your help Bob!
You're most welcome
