Unix ksh invoking java

Hello, I am new to java and hope someone can help.
I am not a java user, but have been asked to automate all the java startups.
My ksh is a simple menu script that allows startup of the various java components.
Each of the java componenets is another small script that basically looks like this:
nohup java -cp ./build/lib/aots.jar:../eocene/eocene.jar:./build/lib/nv390commo
n.jar:$XMLBUS_CLASSPATH:./etc -Did=cts -DpropertyFile=$1 -Dlog4j.configuration=
log4j.properties -Dlog4j.defaultInitOverride=false -Djava.security.policy=
./etc/java.policy $SECURITY_ARGS -Dencrypted.property.file=./etc/.encrypted.a
ots.properties -Dencrypted.property.password=$PASSWORD nv390aots.commonticketse
rver.init.CommonTicketServer 1>$so 2>$se &
The problem is that when the main script in ksh, calls the secondary scripts, the nohup is being ignored.
I have even added the trap command from the main program, and all the java components that are started still die.
The only way I have found around this is by adding the -Xrs option to each of the java command lines.
But from what I am told by our Java folks is that using this -Xrs option does not allow them to get dumps when troubleshooting.
So, is there any way around this.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Never used nohup b4, but looking at the info page...If standard output is a terminal, it is redirected so that it is
appended to the file `nohup.out'; if that cannot be written to, it is
appended to the file `$HOME/nohup.out'. If that cannot be written to,
the command is not run.
If `nohup' creates either `nohup.out' or `$HOME/nohup.out', it
creates it with no "group" or "other" access permissions. It does not
change the permissions if the output file already existed.
If standard error is a terminal, it is redirected to the same file
descriptor as the standard output.
`nohup' does not automatically put the command it runs in the
background; you must do that explicitly, by ending the command line
with an `&'. Also, `nohup' does not change the scheduling priority of
COMMAND; use `nice' for that, e.g., `nohup nice COMMAND'.
So do you have an output file?

  • Invoking Unix command with java stored procedure

    Hi,
    I have a perfectly working environment and now I am trying to replicate the same in another server. I have a java stored procedure which invokes the Unix command using java Runtime.exec() in my code named "run". I am sure that the code is called and the java class run is resolved in oracle as I could see that in dba_java_resolvers dictionary. But I am not sure whether the function in java is called or whether a exception is thrown. how to identify this? Could there be any thing to do with settings in oracle side? please help me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Marutha

    Hi,
    Do you get any output while running the code?
    I'm testing similar solution and if there are any errors or Oracle can't execute the program due to permissions or other issues the error information will be displayed. Also in the Java class itself you need to catch exceptions and print stack trace to standard output.
    declare
    x number;
    begin
    dbms_output.enable(1000000);
    dbms_java.set_output(1000000);
    x:=system_command.run_command('testconnect.sh');
    dbms_output.put_line('Returned value='||x);
    exception
    when others then dbms_output.put_line('Sql error='||substr(sqlerrm,1,250));
    end;
    <system_command.run_command> - replace with a call to your java stored procedure.

  • How can i use Unix database in java?

    How can i use Unix database in Java?

    JPro

    I have not a clue about FoxPro, but the db then is FoxPro and not Unix. The better question would be "How do I connect to FoxPro DB running on Unix with JDBC?".
    My answer to that would be, search the Internet for a JDBC driver.

  • Invoking java methods from C/C++ on the machine with different JREs

    I implemented Windows NT Service instantiating JVM and invoking several java methods. Everything works but I have an issue with running the service on the machine where multiple different versions of JRE have been installed. The service is calling java methods that require JRE 1.3 or later so I wrote the code that is setting system PATH from within the service based on the configuration stored in the external file. The problem is that the service requires jvm.dll to be in the PATH prior lunching it since this library is instantiated through the implicit linking. When I put jvm.dll in the same path as the service binary I can lunch it but JNI_CreateJavaVM fails and returns -1. This happens even if JRE 1.3 is in the system PATH prior lunching the service.
    Everything works if the system PATH contains references to JRE 1.3 and jvm.dll is removed from the service's directory.
    I am looking for an advice on what is the proper way to deal with invoking java methods from the C/C++ executable in the environment with different versions of JRE.
    Thanks, Kris.

    Here's a way I have done what you are asking about:
    What you want to do is make all of your linking happen at runtime, rather than at compile time. This way, you can edit the PATH variable before the jvm.dll gets loaded.
    Following is some code that I used to handle a dll of my own in this manner. You can decide if you want to write a "wrapper" dll, or if you find it simpler to approach the jvm.dll in this way.
    // Define pointer type for DLL entry point.
         typedef void JREPDLL_API (*EXECUTEREQUEST)(char*, Arguments&);
    // Set up path, load dll, and pass everything off to it.
    HINSTANCE javaServer = javaServer = LoadLibrary("jrepdll.dll");
    if (javaServer != NULL) {
    EXECUTEREQUEST executeRequest = (EXECUTEREQUEST)GetProcAddress(javaServer, "ExecuteRequest");
    if (executeRequest != NULL) {
    if (argc == 1)
         // Execute the request.
         executeRequest("-run", args);
    else
         // Execute the request.
         executeRequest("-console", args);
    Here's some code for how to edit the PATH:
              // Edit the PATH environment variable so that we use our private java.
    char *appendPt;
    char *newPath;
    char *path;
              char tmp[_MAX_PATH];
              // Get the current PATH variable setting.
    path = getenv("PATH");
              // Allocate space for an edited path setting.
              if (path != NULL)
                   newPath = (char*)malloc((_MAX_PATH * 2) + strlen(path));
              else
                   newPath = (char*)malloc((_MAX_PATH * 2));
              // Get upper part of path to desired directories.
              strcpy(tmp, filepath);
              appendPt = strstr(tmp, "dbin\\jreplicator");
              appendPt[0] = '\0';
    sprintf(newPath, "PATH=%sjava\\jre1.2.2\\bin;%sjava\\jre1.2.2\\bin\\classic", tmp, tmp);
    // Append the value of the existing PATH environment variable.
    // If there is anything, append it.
    if (path != NULL) {
         strcat(newPath, ";");
         strncat(newPath, path, (sizeof(newPath) - strlen(newPath) - 2));
    // Set new PATH value.
    _putenv(newPath);
              free(newPath);

  • Call an interactive UNIX command from java

    Hi,
    I want to call a UNIX command from java. When issue the command 'htpasswd -c filename username' on UNIX terminal, it asks for the new password and the then confirmation password again (yeah, unfortunately the htpasswd installed on our system does not allow you proivde the password on the command line. So have to work interactively ). Now, I have written a simple java program RunCommand.java. I am hardcoding the password for the htpasswd command in the file (in the real situation, password will be generated dynamically). I want to issue 'java RunCommand' on the UNIX command line and get back the command prompt without being asked for the password twice. The code is below, but the Outputstream does not work as expected. It always asks for inputs. Any idea? Many thanks.
    import java.io.*;
    public class RunCommand {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    String s = null;
    try {

  • Problem in executing a unix command through java

    hi

    simple shell command like "ls -l >test " but i'm not able to see the result.
    there are no error messages.
    Code is:

    }can anyone help please.

    get the the inputStream of the runtime object after executing the command.
    now use the readLine() function until it becomes null.
    egs: with reference to ur code.
    InputStream is=p.getInputStream()
    while(is!=null)
    String s=is.readLine();
    if the command don't execute try giving the full path also like /sbin/ls -l

  • Execute unix commands from Java

    Hi,
    I have a client application running on windows. This client should connect to a unix server and check for the existence of a file and display the result as "File found/File not found". In order to connect from windows to the unix server, I used the sockets and the connection is successfully established. The second part is to check for the presence of the file in unix server. I searched in google.com and the option I found to execute a unix command from java is the "Runtime.exec()". Runtime.exec is considered as the less effective (not a favorable) one.
    Is there any other option available (other than the Runtime) to execute the unix command from java? Can you please let me know.
    Thanks a lot
    Aishu

    So, please let me know how I can execute the above unix commands without Runtime.exec()You have a client and a server.
    You want something to run on the server, not the client.
    That means that something must in fact being running on the server before the client does anything at all.
    For example telnet. Or a J2EE server application.
    So is something like that running?
    If not then there absolutely no way to do what you want, even with Runtime.exec().
    If yes then what you do depends on what is running. So Runtime.exec() would be pointless if a J2EE server was running.

  • Excute unix script from java.

    Hi need to excute unix script from java application.
    My code is:

    My problem is that using the waitFor() statement stuck the the script. if i don't use the waitFor() it works good but then i don't know when the script is finished.
    Any idea?

    The problem is likely to be that you script is either waiting for input or has filled the stdout buffer and you are not emptying it. Search this forum for this as its been answered many times before.
