Using admin_client.jar from bash script

Hello,
When I make a call "java -jar admin_client.jar" from a bash script I always get 0 for $? even when there are errors reported in the console. How can I check the status correctly?
S

Greetings,
Can you see the console when running the script? I would try to test something simple like -testDatabaseConnection and you should see a result. If you cannot login the the server directly, pipe the output to a file. Next, build up your bash script with additional complexity as you go. Post the results here for the group to analyze.
THX

Automated Deployment Using admin_client.jar gives 500 error

Greetings,
1. standalone OC4J version 10.1.3.3.0

We have a mature deployment in that the deployment from JDeveloper is routinely successful. During the course of developing continuous integration builds, the automated deployment is now failing. We had succeeded previously using admin_client.jar and the deploy command as follows:

During this process, the existing system-jazn-data.xml file is overwritten and our Application's <login module> information has been deleted. Upon editing this file and adding back the login module data and restarting oc4j, we can login to our application. The framework of the site is present along with graphics, yet every page visited yields a 500 error (jspx +and+ HTML). Since the entire deployment is done from ant, we do not have the capability of specifying a the web-app as development configuration. We need advice on how best to debug the deployed application as well as knowledge regarding the mechanism which causes the system-jazn-data.xml file in the oc4j/j2ee/home/config folder to be modified.

Problem using admin_client.jar -addDataSourceConnectionPool

I am using admin_client.jar -addDataSourceConnectionPool to create a Connection Pool.
Below is the command i am using
java admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost:6003/home admin welcome -addDataSourceConnectionPool -applicationName default -name MySitePool -factoryClass <my application specific connection pool class> -dbUser new -dbPassword new -url <db url>
I guess the command looks good.
but when i try it out it gives me following error,
addDataSourceConnectionPool error: Can't find resource for bundle oracle.oc4j.admin.deploy.shared.util.Messages, key addDataSourceConnectionPool_failed
I am totally clueless about what could i be missing here.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Deployment Using admin_client.jar causes edit of system-jazn-data.xml

Greetings,
1. standalone OC4J version 10.1.3.3.0
2. Windows XP platform in a VM
Our automated deployment to a stand alone oc4j causes the system-jazn-data.xml file in the oc4j\j2ee\home\config folder to be overwritten. This process removes the pertinent application-specific login module information required for our JAAS security. Overwriting this file with a known working version followed by a restart of oc4j enables application login. What we would like to learn is how to control the content of the system-jazn-data.xml file during automated deployment with ant scripts using oc4j admin_client.jar. Note that when deployed with JDeveloper, the information in the orion-application.xml file is added back to the system-jazn-data.xml in the oc4j\j2ee\home\config directory and logging in is once again enabled.

Using admin_client.jar

Hello,
admin_client.jar command needs oc4jadmin password. Is there a way where it can accept encrypted password or certificate? I don't want to store/send plain text password from my bash script.
Thanks
m

I think no, and I belive is a problem of this services is only for development or test purposes, if you want to implement some kind of security has to be in the OS side like encrypting or securing the file as well not printing the output in the screen.
Hope this helps
Greetings

How to send 2 variable value from bash script into java.class

currently i have a simple java coding ( a + b ). and i m trying to connect with bash script but this bash script coudln't Enter 2nd value (b=20) while i running for it. may i know how do i can Enter 2 value into it?

=======================================================================

That code will send both numbers on a single line in standard input to the java process. So if the process reads standard input, it will get a single line that has this in it: "10 20".
I'm guessing you're sending that whole line to Integer.parseInt. But a valid number doesn't have a space in the middle.
You should split up the line using String.split. Or use a StringTokenizer. Or a regular expression. Or you can use a java.util.Scanner. Or a java.io.StreamTokenizer. Or maybe some other stuff that has slipped my mind at the moment.

Writing to mplayer's stdin from bash script.

I was just fulling with some bash script in order to automate the listening of my favorite radio stations via mplayer and a bash script. Going through the mplayers manual I saw the option -slave.
-slave
This option switches on slave mode. This is intended for use of MPlayer as a backend to other programs. Instead of intercepting keyboard events, MPlayer will read simplistic command lines from its stdin. The section SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL explains the syntax.
At first I thought "ok, easy". I made some tries like "mplayer -slave -quiet .... < /tmp/stdin &" and then something like "echo -e 'mute' > /tmp/stdin" but it wouldn't work.
Is it possible to send a process to the background inside a bash script and then write to it's stdin?
SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL
If the -slave option is given, playback is controlled by a line-based protocol. Each line must contain one command otherwise one of the following tokens:
Commands
seek <value> [type=<0/:1/:2>]
Seek to some place in the movie. Type 0 is a relative seek of +/:- <value> seconds. Type 1 seek to <value> % in the movie. Type 2 is a seek to an absolute position of <value> seconds.
audio_delay <value>
Adjust the audio delay of value seconds
quit
Quit MPlayer
pause
Pause/:unpause the playback
grap_frames
Somebody know ?
pt_step <value> [force=<value>]
Go to next/:previous entry in the playtree.
pt_up_step <value> [force=<value>]
Like pt_step but it jumps to next/:previous in the parent list.
alt_src_step <value>
When more than one source is available it selects the next/:previous one (only supported by asx playlist).
sub_delay <value> [abs=<value>]
Adjust the subtitles delay of +/:- <value> seconds or set it to <value> seconds when abs is non zero.
osd [level=<value>]
Toggle osd mode or set it to level when level > 0.
volume <dir>
Increase/:decrease volume
[contrast|brightness|hue|saturation] <-100-100> [abs=<value>]
Set/:Adjust video parameters.
frame_drop [type=<value>]
Toggle/:Set frame dropping mode.
sub_visibility
Toggle subtitle visibility.
sub_pos <value>
Adjust subtitles position.
vo_fullscreen
Switch to fullscreen mode.
tv_step_channel <dir>
Select next/:previous tv channel.
tv_step_norm
Change TV norm.
tv_step_chanlist
Change channel list.

FIFO's are awesome and can be (ab)used for a lot of cool stuff.
I've written some applications that do just what you are trying to do ( http://github.com/trapd00r/rmcd and http://github.com/trapd00r/RPD ), if you need inspiration.
As for the backgrounding - you want to make a 'daemon', to detach from the running shell. See man fork, man 3 setsid and man 3 wait / man 3 waitpid (or my daemonize() function).

How to use a jar from a external library DC Project?

I followed the steps of how to create DC, External Library Project, which contains the jar I want.
I understood that this type of project can't be deployed so I build and deployed other DC Project from the type J2EE server component Library and added it to it's public part. What do I do next, to actually use the jar and it's imports?
Thank you,

Deploy using admin_client.jar to Oracle SOA suite started up with java cmd

Hey,
Someone at work asked me to create a deployer command to deploy to a locally running OC4J SOA suite. I got it working like this:
java -jar %ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\home\admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost/home oc4jadmin oc4jadmin -deploy -file <path> -deploymentName <appname> -bindAllWebApps
However when I implemented this using Maven2 there was a problem. It seems the SOA suite OC4J instance gets started up alternatively to get debugging to work. I started it up using the startupconsole which is automatically used in the Windows XP start menu.
They start it up like this:
java -Xrs -server -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -ms512M -mx1024M -XX:AppendRatio=3 -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.webdir.enable=false -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=5000,suspend=n,server=y -jar oc4j.jar
This causes the URI for deployment to be invalid. I tried lots of other URI forms I found online but none of them work. Maybe you guys know?
Thanks in advance

Something noteworthy it seems...
I added a few extra lines to the command to enable logging (as found here)

Find gives permission denied on files when executed from bash script.

I've written a really basic script just to check what new music was added to my library over the past n days:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Check for days?"
read days
`find /home/tom/Music/ -iname "*.*" -type f -mtime -$days -print`
If I run the find from the shell it runs fine but the script always gives this error:
./listNewMusic.sh: line 7: /home/MrGone/Music/Smod/SModcast-19.mp3: Permission denied
Anyone know why?
Thanks.

It is because you're running the find command in a sub-shell. What is returned by the sub-shell is being run by your script.
Change:
`find /home/tom/Music/ -iname "*.*" -type f -mtime -$days -print`
to
find /home/tom/Music/ -iname "*.*" -type f -mtime -$days -print

How do I restart X from the console or from bash script?

I have searched with google, but can't find any answers not involving gdm or xdm. I need this because I'm writing a simple script that compiles and installs dwm and then restarts x.
Thanks.

Ashren wrote:
lilsirecho, no it does nothing.
buttons, sudo kill 'pidof X' && startx did work with xdm enabled (I still had to login again, though). The reason I don't use respawn is that I don't like display managers. Is there any way to circumvent them and still have the respawn feature? I want to restart dwm without typing in anything, besides the name of my script.
Thanks..
Absolutely.
Relevant parts of /etc/inittab:
id:5:initdefault:
x:5:respawn:/bin/su buttons -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startx >/dev/null 2>/home/buttons/.xsession-errors"
"buttons" is of course my login name, and I prefer to have my errors go to a logfile in my home directory, which many display managers do by default. Or at least GDM.

Using VI server from DIAdem script :: Syntax (documentation) for properties and methods of VI Server objects (for non-labview programmers)

Hello all,
I am using DIAdem 10.0 Advanced, LabVIEW 8.0 PDS. I would like to start a LabVIEW IHM from a VBS script. I use VI Server to call my VI from DIAdem.
Here is the script and the VI I use (VI attached):
Dim lvapp, vi, viPath, paramName(1), paramVal(1)
Set lvapp = CreateObject("LabVIEW.Application")
viPath = "C:\TEST\test.vi"
Set vi = lvapp.GetVIReference(viPath)
vi.FPWinOpen = True
paramName(0) = "Input"
paramVal(0) = 10
paramName(1) = "Output"
paramVal(1) = 0
Call vi.Call(paramName, paramVal)
Call lvapp.Quit()
I found a similar example on your web site.
Question 1:
I need to know the syntax for all the other properties and methods of a VI object (method like Get or Set Control Value for example).
Is a documentation (other than the LabVIEW help which is dedicated for LV programmers) exist in order to be able to use all the features of VI Server from another environment (CVI, VB, ...)?
Question 2:
Is it possible to call a VI with VI Server with the parameter "Wait until done" to FALSE? (run a VI asynchronuously from DIAdem)
Thanks for your answer.

Hello,
I finally found a way to get the documentation of VI Server. I can view the "LabVIEW.TLB" type library file with a OLE/COM Object Viewer (a utility from the Windows SDK).

Truth. VISUAL is typically used for the graphical text editor.
So, to use VISUAL if it exists, but otherwise default to medit, do:
editor="${VISUAL:-medit}"
$editor foo.txt

Sending email using bash script

Hello:
I am working on writing a bash script to notify one or more users by email of certain events. Run from the Terminal command line, and having the script "echo" text of (what would be) a form letter with in-line variable expansion (i.e., ${VARIABLE}), all seems to work as anticipated. Eventually, I want cron to launch this shell script, and send an email to an "on-subnet" user (I have postfix enabled on my Mac, and there are multiple local user accounts).
I found some stuff on the web about sending mail from bash scripts, and so I made a small little test script, that reads like this:
#!/bin/bash
VARIABLE[1]="The 12,345 quick brown foxes "
VARIABLE[2]="jumped over the 67,890 lazy dogs."
mail -s "a test email" jv << EOF
This is a test:
${VARIABLE[1]}
${VARIABLE[2]}
This is the last line of the test message.
EOF
echo "script completed"
It worked... almost... It sent a local email to my postfix mail account that read like this:
This is a test:
The 12,345 quick brown foxes
jumped over the 67,890 lazy dogs.
This is the last line of the test message.
EOF
echo "script completed"
So, I have two questions. First, the easy one (I hope):
How do I delimit the end of the text, that I want to be the message body of the email, from portions of the script that follow said email text?
Next question is a little more involved. You know how, in Mail.app, if you go to Mail Preferences>Accounts>Account Information, you can put multiple email addresses, comma-delimited, in the "Email Address" field? So, if a person entered "[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]" in this field, then, even though (s)he may be at home, and using their home ISP's mail server, (s)he could send an email apparently from either their home, work, or school email address. Of course, the mail headers clearly would show it came from and through their home machine and home ISP, but it would be displayed in the recipient's Mail client viewer as having come from one of [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].
I'd like to do something similar here, whereby the email (that is being sent to one or more local users' postfix account on my computer) would apparently be sent from "watchdog@localhost" rather than from "jv@localhost" like it seems to do by default. Whatever account the script is run from (or presumbably, whose cron tab is launching the script) is what the "From" address is set to.
I'd rather not create an additional mail account, because I am using Mac OS X built-in accounts for the postfix mailboxes (I don't want to have to maintain a plaintext username:password file in postfix, and I don't want to create an additional user account on the computer).
So, is there a way to specify an alternate "From" username when invoking the mail -s ${SUBJECT} ${RECIPIENT} command in a bash script? Or is there a different, alternate mail command that will let me do so? (please include a description of syntax and how I'd package the above message text for the alternate method).
Thanks in advance, all!

Hi j.v.,
The > after EOF is just a typo (or may be added by the Discussion ?) and you must delete it; other > are prompts from the interactive shell. Andy's post shows an interactive use of shell, not a shell script (note the shell prompt % in front of the commands). A typical use of here document may look like
command <<ENDOFDATA
ENDOFDATA
There must be no spaces before and after ENDOFDATA. The word ENDOFDATA can be EOF or any other string which is guaranteed not to appear in the text (the .... in the example above).
You can modify the From: header by using sendmail command (postfix has it as a compatibility interface):
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t <<EndOfMessage
Subject: test mail
To: jv
From: watchdog
This is a test:
${VARIABLE[1]}
${VARIABLE[2]}
This is the last line of the test message.
EndOfMessage
There must be a blank line between the headers and the mail body.
I assume that you send these mails only to users on your local Mac. Please do not send mails to remote users by using the sendmail command unless you know what you are doing completely.

Admin_client.jar credentials

I have created script to deploy war & ear file to OAS 10.1.3.x using admin_client.jar. I can get it to work if I use the oc4jadmin credential. However, I can not get the script to work if I use different account.
This account is member of ascontrol_admin role. I am able to deploy the application using this account through OAS Web UI but unable to do so from the command-line. We are interested in seperating oc4jadmin account from the account which will be used to deploy/undeploy application.
I get the standard error message regarding authentication shown below:

Is there some thing special about oc4jadmin account? It seems like I should be able to create a new user wih ascontrol_admin role should be enught.... Anyone?
thanks

Okay, after reading the documentation, a thought come acrossed my mind... To use admin_client.jar, administrative account must belong to oc4j-administrator group? It looks like other out-of-box roles will not allow admin_client.jar to work..... Does any one know?
thanks
