Unix Shell Command Monitor broken

Hi all,
Few days ago I've noticed that I am not able to create/modify Unix Shell Command monitors (two/three states)
Screenshot: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/neverregret/view/609083
I am domain admin and Operations Manager admin so I have sufficient privileges automatically.
Could you please advice what is going wrong?
I'll appreciate any help.
Thank you

Has the SCOM server been upgraded or patched prior to this starting or were any MPs removed that are associated to the UNIX/Linux functionality?
Check and see if the Microsoft.SystemCenter.CrossPlatform.UI.OM.Integration.Authoring.ShellCommandTemplate.dll file exists under the SCOM directory structure.
You can download the latest UNIX/Linux MPs/agents from here
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29696 and try updating the Microsoft.Unix.ShellCommand.Library.mpb MPs and see if that helps.

Invoking a UNIX shell command from Java stored procedure

The program below is suppose do send an email using UNIX mailx program. It works correctly when I compile it in UNIX and invoke it from the command line by sending an email to the given address.
I need this program to run as a stored procedure, however. I deploy it as such and try to invoke it. It prints the results correctly to the standard output. It does not send any emails, however. One other difference in execution is that when invoked from the command line, the program takes about a minute to return. When invoked as a stored procedure in PL/SQL program or SQL*Plus anonymous block, it returns immediately.
Why would mailx invocation not work from a stored procedure? Are there other ways to invoke mailx from PL/SQL?
Thank you.
Michael

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
public class MailUtility
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println(mailx("Hey, there", "Hello", "oracle@solaris10ora", 1));

if (display > 0)
System.out.println(command);
try
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/bin/bash");
BufferedWriter outCommand =
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(process.getOutputStream()));
outCommand.write(command, 0, command.length());
outCommand.newLine();
outCommand.write("exit", 0, 4);
outCommand.newLine();
outCommand.flush();
process.waitFor();
outCommand.close();
return process.exitValue();
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return -1;
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return -1;

try adding the full explicit path to "mailx" in the command string that gets sent to Runtime. i would guess that the shell that gets spawned might not have a proper environment and thus mailx might not be found.

Error while Executing Unix Shell Commands Using Runtime clas

I am trying to run the following code in java on unix machine to execute cat command.
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
          try {
               System.out.println("before catexecute");
               Process process = runtime.exec("cat /export/home/shankerr/local.profile > /export/home/shankerr/local1.txt");
               try {
                    if (process.waitFor() != 0) {
                    System.err.println("exit value = " +
                              process.exitValue());
                    catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    System.err.println(e);
But i get the following error on the console
exit value = 2
cat: cannot open >
cat: cannot open /export/home/shankerr/local1.txt
The same command if i run on unix console directly it creates a new file and copies the content into the new file local1.txt
kindly help me on the same

The redirection operator > along with stuff like pipe | history !$ etc. is interpreted by the shell, not by the cat program.
When you do cat X > Ycat only sees the X. The rest is interpreted by the shell to redirect the cat program's stdout.
However, when you Runtime.exec(), you don't have the shell, so cat sees X > Y as its arguments, and interprets them all as file names. Since there's no file named > you get the error.
The solution is to first man cat on your system and see if it happens to have a -o or somesuch operator that lets it (rather than the shell) send its output to a file. If not, then you need to invoke a shell, and pass it cat and all of cat's args as the command to execute.
Read the man pages for you shell of choice, but for bash, I believe you'd give Runtime.exec() something like /bin/bash -c 'cat X > Y'

Issues with running UNIX shell command from Java

        finally
            return rc ;
show errorsI can call runCmd directly from SQLPlus using an Oracle stored procedure and it runs like expected. I can see the returned output using dbms_java.set_output(1000000).
But when I call cmdTest from SQLPlus using an Oracle stored procecdure it just hangs forever and I have to kill the session.
Is there something I am missing in the cmdTest method?

Jimmy,
If you haven't already seen it, I think the following article may be of help:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
Also a "finally" block should not contain a "return" statement:

Good Luck,
Avi.

Incorporate shell commands from forms

How to incorporate unix shell commands(eg. ls, cp) from forms9i?
In Windows environment,it is possible by issuing
host command(eg. HOST('DIR >k.lis') -- it moves the list of files from Oracle9i/forms90 path to a file k.lis).
The same thing I have to do in a unix environment.

I think you have the wrong forum. This forum has to do
with the UIX technology inside of JDeveloper. Your
question seems to have to do with UNIX or forms. I can't
tell which.

Pass commands to UNIX shell opened in Windows XP OS

need to install the run-time engine's listed below to use VIPM, even if
you have a newer version of LabVIEW installed.

VIPM 1.1 and 2.0 require the LabVIEW 8.2.1 run-time engine installed on your machine.

/bin/ps shell command broken

I'm running 10.6.3 and recently noticed the /bin/ps command is broken.
$ ps -ef
ps: illegal option -- f
usage: ps [-AaCcEefhjlMmrSTvwXx] [-O fmt | -o fmt] [-G gid[,gid...]]
[-u]
[-p pid[,pid...]] [-t tty[,tty...]] [-U user[,user...]]
ps [-L]
How do you log an issue with Apple?

Yes this discussion should be held in the Mac OS X Technologies Unix forum
As a point of information, /bin/ps -ef also gives me an illegal -f option.
HOWEVER, if I become root, it works
sudo /bin/ps -ef
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
0 1 0 0 19:58.45 ?? 20:07.86 /sbin/launchd
0 10 1 0 0:03.90 ?? 0:21.57 /usr/libexec/kextd
0 11 1 0 0:24.04 ?? 0:43.67 /usr/sbin/DirectoryService
it works nicely.
Update. The above was run from iTerm session. When I started an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session, the /bin/ps -ef WORKED!
Very strange. I wonder what environmental conditions are affecting the ps option parsing. I find it very hard to beleive that it is the actual terminal emulator.
Take this discussion over to Mac OS X Technologies -> Unix forum, and let the other interested Unix users have a go at figuring this out.

Run Unix command / Run Unix shell script from Forms9i

Hi,
I have a requirement to run Unix command and Unix shell scripts from Forms9i.
I know HOST command cannot be used directly. I also know we can create some JAVA stored procedure to perform the task, but I don't want to create any JAVA stored procedure as there are some security concerns.
Please point me towards any other way to achieve the same.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kumar

There is no reason why HOST can't be used. This is what it is for. As for using Java, it is not a stored procedure that you would be using, it would be imported Java (imported into the form).
The best way to use the HOST command is to call a script (.sh) rather than calling a Unix command directly. This is because HOST will not pick up environment variables set at the system level. So the script would first need to set the necessary environment variables then call the desired commands.

Running Shell Commands (not Executable) in Unix from Java

What are my options to run shell commands from Java?
My goal is to change my existing shell environment variables to some new ones provided by .anotherProfile.
Using an executable from Java is not an option because it does not work i.e. ( exec(". /home/.profile") ) brings up errors.
Someone has suggested that I start a child shell with that profile and work from there, but I'm unfamiliar with that sort of syntax and programming in general.
Any good help equals duke dollars :)

Well there are some possibilities. In the original thread you mentioned that you wanted the shell script to be executed to change some enviroment parameters of the shell the JVM is executing in.
If so, and you are able to rewrite the profile so you can parse it manually. Then you can change some environment setting by writing the JNI wrappers for the getenv and setenv system calls. (Check your man pages)
That will change the environment. I am just wondering what good it will do for you? What's use of sourcing the profile in a JVM?

Return codes from sqlldr command from unix shell script

I am trying to capture error code from sql loader from unix shell script and display proper messages.
sqlldr parfile=sdb.par control=$cntlfile data=$infile bad=$badFile log=$logFile rows=10000
rows=10000
retcode=`echo $?`
case "$retcode" in
0) echo "SQL*Loader execution successful" ;;
1) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_FAIL, see logfile" ;;
2) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_WARN, see logfile" ;;
3) echo "SQL*Loader execution encountered a fatal error" ;;
*) echo "unknown return code";;
esac
Eventhough, there are errors while executing sqlldr, it is always returing recode zero. What could be the possible reason
Please advice

Is there a typo in your code ?
sqlldr parfile=sdb.par control=$cntlfile data=$infile bad=$badFile log=$logFile rows=10000
rows=10000
retcode=`echo $?` In this code, you get the return code of the statement in bold which is not the sqlldr statement ...

Shell Commands

I have 100 shots I need to render. I know how to submit the shots to qmaster using a shell command, but my problem is that I can only figure out the syntax to have one job per line. That means that instead of one batch with 100 jobs, I get 100 batches, each with 1 job.
Can anyone clue me in to how I can do this? Here is the code I use per line -
/Applications/Apple\ Qmaster.app/Contents/MacOS/Apple\ Qmaster -batchname test -clustername testxsan -command "Shell" -options \<command\>test.pl\ a bunch of options and stuff go here\<\/command\>
The manual also says something about XML commands, although I could not find the file it was referencing at ~Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleQmaster.plist.

Hi Dylan,
I hope this helps. You're real close. Once you set your batch name and send it the job information for the first job, just include the other jobs that you want in batch.
You can include the same source file multiple times and reference different settings files to create multiple versions of the same clip. Or you can include multiple clips using the same settings files. Or you can mix and match.
The thing is you have to specify everything for each job.
Here's an example of one where you send multiple clips using the same settings file. I've broken it out on separate lines to make it easier to read.
--tom
/Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor
-clustername MyVideoCluster
-batchname MyBigBatchName
-jobpath /Users/path/to/source/MyVideoClip01.flv

Error while trying to execute a unix shell script from java program

Hi
I have written a program to execute a unix shell script in a remote machine. I am using J2ssh libraries to estabilish the session connection with the remote box.The program is successfully able to connect and authenticate with the box.
The runtime .exec() is been implemented to execute the shell script.I have given below the code snippet.
try {
     File file_location = new File("/usr/bin/");
     String file_location1 = "/opt/app/Hyperion/scripts/daily";
     String a_mib_name = "test.sh";
     String cmd[] = new String[] {"/usr/bin/bash", file_location1, a_mib_name};
     Runtime rtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p = rtime.exec(cmd, null, file_location);
System.out.println( "Connected to the server1" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = br.readLine();
while(line !=null)
System.out.println(line);
line = br.readLine();
br.close();
p.getErrorStream ().close ();
p.getOutputStream().close();
int retVal = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("wait " + retVal);
//session.executeCommand("ls");
catch (IOException ex) {
I get an error message
Connected to the server

Error while executing unix shell script from java program

Hi All,
I am trying to execute unix shell script from a java program using Runtime.execute() method by passing script name and additional arguments.
Code snippet :
Java Class :
try{
     String fileName ="test.ksh";
     String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
     String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
     int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
     sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Test.ksh
export -- application realated paths..
nohup abc.exe 1> test.log 2>&1;
$1
exit.By running the above java class , i am getting exit Value: 139 and log file test.log of 0 bytes.
when i am running the same command (/usr/bin/ksh test.ksh satish) manually, it's calling abc.exe file successfully
and able generate the logs properly.
Pls let us know where exactly i am stuck..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Satish

Hi Sabre,
As per the guidelines provided by the article, i had done below changes..
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader iStreamReader = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
String line = null;
try{
String fileName ="test.ksh";
String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
is = proc.getErrorStream();
iStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
bReader = new BufferedReader(iStreamReader);
System.out.println("<ERROR>");
while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Error is : "+line);
System.out.println("</ERROR>");
int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Now , it's showing something like..
<ERROR>
</ERROR>

Reg: UNIX shell script at File Adapter

Hi all,
I am doing a File to file scenario and using command line arguments in Sending file adapter. I am using UNIX shell script ".sh" file for executing the command.
I gave the following path at "Run OS command before message processing" parameter:
/temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_shell.sh
and this file contains following code:
<b>#!/user/bin/sh cp /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_in.txt /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_input_copy4.txt</b>
I put the source file, FILOSC004_in.txt and shell script files at the respective paths.
If I give "cp" command directly in command line it is working fine. But I could not execute this with shell script. Can any body give me the reason where I gone wrong.
Regards,
Pavani.

Hi,
can you try this,
bash /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_shell.sh
let me know.
hey you can check the blog below to catch the OS errors,
