Using telnet in shell scripts

Is is possible to script telnet commands to port 25 automatically using a file, here document or re-directing stdin etc?

Yes. If you are on Solaris, use mconnect like so:
mconnect mailsrver.domain.com >> output_file <<__HEREDOC
smtp commands
quit
__HEREDOC
You could also use the Net::SMTP Perl modules.

Schedule workbook using with Unix shell script

Hi,
Can we schedule workbook using with Unix shell script?
Thanks,
Jay

I can't imagine how.
1. You can schedule Disco workbooks via Disco itself.
2. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via batch scheduler in Windows running Disco Desktop directly (or can user VBasic).
3. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via a Java program running the Java Command Line interface.
Moving forward, Oracle has announced that with a further interfacing of Disco with XML Publisher, you'll be able to use Oracle Apps concurrent manager and scheduling. But that's coming supposedly at the end of this year.
And I think that's about it.

Tracking cpu used by a shell script

Hi,
We are on oracle 10.2.0.3 on solaris 8. I want to find how much cpu is used by a shell script. The script is having inside it a command to take full database export and create a log file that records when the activity started and ended also also sets up a few variables like sid oracle home etc. how can i find how much cpu is used by this script?
here is the script I have (after changing a few actual parameters)
+!/usr/bin/ksh+
export LOGFILE=db1_fullexport.log
export MAIL_LOG=/oracle/tmp/exp_mail.log
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01
export ORACLE_SID=db1
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
export EXP_DIR=/d01
export DMP_DIR=/d01
echo "" > $MAIL_LOG
echo " ********** `date` LOGICAL BACKUP Log for $ORACLE_SID ON `hostname` *********** " > $MAIL_LOG
echo "" > $LOGFILE
echo "`date` Starting full export of $ORACLE_SID on `hostname`." >> $LOGFILE
echo "" >> $LOGFILE
echo "starting following is the PID of this script" >> $LOGFILE
echo $$ >> $LOGFILE
+$ORACLE_HOME/bin/exp dbauser/dbapwd full=y direct=y rows=n file=$DMP_DIR/db1_fullexp.dmp statistics=none log=$DMP_DIR/db1_fullexp.log >> $LOGFILE+
retstat=$?
echo "Export Return Status : $retstat " >> $MAIL_LOG
+if [ $retstat == 0 ]+
then
echo "For `date` on `hostname` and $ORACLE_SID database the logical backups are completed successfully." >> $MAIL_LOG
else
echo "Logical backups for `date` on `hostname` and $ORACLE_SID encountered some problems. Check!!!!!" >> $MAIL_LOG
fi
I can find the pid of the script but based on it how to find how much cpu it takes?
Thanks

Hi,
how can i find how much cpu is used by this script?I use a vmstat script. The vmstat utility show both user and system CPU and you can snap it at one scond intervals:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_oracle_unix_linux_vmstat_capture.htm
I have a book by Oracle Press, The Oracle UNIX adminustratun handbook" that you may find useful, and there is aslo a good book "Oracle Shell scripting" that has working examples in the code depot . . .
Inside Oracle, you can measure historical CPU, but this will not help your immediate goal . . .

Using a UNIX shell script to run a Java program (packaged in a JAR)

Hi,
I have an application (very small) that connects to our database. It needs to run in our UNIX environment so I've been working on a shell script to set the class path and call the JAR file. I'm not making a lot of progress on my own. I've attached the KSH (korn shell script) file code.
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to set the class path and / or call the JAR file.
loggedinuser="$(whoami)"
CFG_DIR="`dirname $0`"
EXIT_STATUS=${SUCCESS}
export PATH=/opt/java1.3/bin:$PATH
OLDDIR="`pwd`"
cd $PLCS_ROOT_DIR
java -classpath $
EXIT_STATUS=$?
cd $OLDDIR
echo $EXIT_STATUS
exit $EXIT_STATUS

Hi,
I have an application (very small) that connects to
our database. It needs to run in our UNIX environment
so I've been working on a shell script to set the
class path and call the JAR file.
#!/bin/sh
exec /your/path/to/java -cp your:class:paths:here -MoreJvmOptionsHere your.package.and.YourClass "$@"Store this is a file of any name, e.g. yuckiduck, and then change the persmissions to executechmod a+x yuckiduckThe exec makes sure the shell used to run the script does not hang around until that java program finishes. While this is only a minor thing, it is nevertheless infinite waste, because it does use some resources but the return on that investment is 0.
CFG_DIR="`dirname $0`"You would like to fetch the directory of the installation out of $0. This breaks as soon as someone makes a (soft) link in some other directory to this script and calls it by its soft linked name. Your best bet if you don't know a lot of script programming is to hardcode CFG_DIR.
OLDDIR="`pwd`"
cd $PLCS_ROOT_DIRVery bad technique in UNIX. UNIX supports the notion of a "current directory". If your user calls this program in a certain directory, you should assume that (s)he does this on purpose. Making your application dependent on a start in a certain directory ignores the very helpful concept of 'current directory' and is therefore a bug.
cd $OLDDIRThis has no effect at all because it only affects the next two lines of code and nothing else. These two lines, however, don't depend on the current directory. In particular this (as the cd above) does not change the current directory for the interactive shell your user is working in.
echo $EXIT_STATUS
exit $EXIT_STATUSEchoing the exit status is an interesting idea, but if you don't do this for a very specific purpose, I recommend not to do this for the simple reason that no other UNIX program does it.

Java, Telnet, Perl & Shell Script

Hi,
I wasnt too sure where to put this, but essentially my app needs to do the following:-
- Connect from a development server to several other servers via telnet preferably.
- Once there it needs to execute a simple shell script that will be on the destination box.
Does anyone know an easy way of establishing the telnet session in Java, or how to get Java to kick off a Perl script, because we have a Perl script that can do the Telnet.
Thanks

Or you could google for "java telnet" (and probably have to exclude these forums where the same question gets repeated every couple weeks).
You can start a perl script with java.lang.Runtime.exec.

Ls -l does not show files unless used in a shell script

Our backup script is generating files called BACKUP.01.04.05 (the 01.04.05 is a generated date). Well the files do not show up when using ls-l at the command line, except for the ones generated in 2000 (e.g. BACKUP.00.01.01). But if I put echo|ls -l in a script then the files do show up in the listing. We are running solaris 2.7. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi there,
The behavior you described sure does not seem to make much sense.
Is it possible if the 'ls' in your command line is aliased to
something which might explain the behavior?
Also, echo|ls -l should not make a difference, I don't think ls takes
any input from the pipe. I assume that the 'ls' you run from the
shell script is different than the one you run from your command
line. The 'which ls' command will show if your ls is aliased.
Hope this helps.

Using an external shell script rather than a main class

I've just started to use Creator and I'm like to replace the "Run" function with a call to a shell script. The projects are all libraries (no main class) so the shell script will copy the jar to a another location and perform some other tasks such as starting/stopping services.
I've tried uncommenting the target tag example in the build.xml file but that had no effect.
Any ideas?

Using rsh within shell script unable to run CONCSUB utility.

I am writing a shell script which will connect to the application server from my DB server.
I am using RSH for the same and it is working. Now I want to submit Active Users Request using CONCSUB but
I am not finding correct syntax for the same.
I am able to execute adstpall.sh using the below combination of commands:

Using mail in Shell script

Hey guys,
I am writing a shell script to parse some data and create a csv file when done. I want to be able to email the csv file when the script is done. I cannot seem to figure out how to do this. I am running Mountain Lion and I have tried mail -s, mailx at the command line in Terminal and in the script and when I go check my gmail account there is no email there. Its not in the spam folders or the junk folder. Any help would be appreciated

Thank you for your reply earlier. Sorry I know that it was an applescript. I had a suggestion to send it via applescript: Here is the script that I wrote: It will send an email but the problem is that it fails right now cause the attachment is not working correctly.
-- Variables
set recipientName to "SomeOne"
set recipientAddress to "[email protected]"
set theSubject to "CSV File"
set theContent to "Here is your CSV file created from your website"
set fileName to "HD:Users:markperryman:GinaApp:gina_20120801.csv"
-- Mail Tell Block
tell application "Mail"
    --Create the message
    set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theContent, visible:true}
    -- Set a recipient
    tell theMessage
        make new to recipient with properties {name:recipientName, address:recipientAddress}
        tell content
            make new attachment with properties {name:fileName as alias} at after the last paragraph
        end tell
        -- Send the Message
        send
    end tell
end tell
and here is the error I get now:
error "Mail got an error: Can’t make {name:alias \"HD:Users:someone:GinaApp:gina_20120801.csv\"} into type properties of attachment." number -1700 from {name:alias "HD:Users:markperryman:GinaApp:gina_20120801.csv"}
any ideas. Im at a loss right now.
I have a shell script written that does most of my process. Now I just want to write an applescript that can be called by the shell and send the email with the attachment. So Im not sure what Im doing wrong. As always any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Moving files into directory using shell script

Can someone tell me how I move files into directory using *nix/linux shell script?
I have files which created from stored procedures using utl_file. The files name for example:
DKH_104_12345
DKE_101_42324242
DKH_102_32432
DKE_101_34553
Then I create directories automatically for example:
/oradata/apps/dmp/output/101
/oradata/apps/dmp/output/102
/oradata/apps/dmp/output/103
/oradata/apps/dmp/output/104
Using this procedure :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Xorganize AS
v_item VARCHAR2(5);
v_DirName VARCHAR2(50);
v_FileName VARCHAR2(50):='xorganize';
v_FileExt VARCHAR2(5):='.sh';
v_ID UTL_FILE.file_type;
CURSOR res IS
--find the directory name from table
SELECT brn_cde FROM vcr_brn_cde ORDER BY 1;
BEGIN
--used by utl.file funtion
SELECT PRD_DIR INTO v_DirName
FROM CR_SYS_PRM
WHERE CLT_CDE ='FIF';
SELECT v_FileName||v_FileExt INTO v_FileName FROM dual;
v_ID:=UTL_FILE.FOPEN(v_DirName,v_FileName, 'w');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','@@echo OFF');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','cls');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','echo Reorganizing ...');
OPEN res;
     LOOP
          FETCH res INTO v_item;
          EXIT WHEN res%NOTFOUND;
          utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','mkdir '||v_item);
     END LOOP;
CLOSE res;
OPEN res;
     LOOP
          FETCH res INTO v_item;
          EXIT WHEN res%NOTFOUND;
          utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','move _'||v_item||'_.* '||v_item||'\');
     END LOOP;
CLOSE res;
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','FOR /F "usebackq delims=" %%1 IN (`dir /b *.`) DO @rd/q %%1');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','cls');
utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','echo Reorganizing ...Done');
utl_file.fclose(v_ID);
END;
Everything works fine, BUT, the script is generated in dos/windows scripting.
Now I need to run the script in *nix/linux shell, which I still can’t do it (because of my knowledge :p).
And also I don’t know if the script already generated in *nix/linux shell version, how do I chmod +x the script from stored procedure, I can’t use ‘host’ command in my tools
Thanks a lot
-firman

If you're using 9i then UTL_FILE.FRENAME() will execute something like a Unix mv command.
If you want to do a chmod then you'll need to check out how to use a Java Stored Procedure to execute OS calls.

Problems using Shell scripts and Automator

My problem is that when I use the "Run Shell Script" Automator action, it won't work if I type the script inside the action but it will work if I just type a path to the script file, which is less elegant as I then need to copy the Automator app made as well as the script file.
Here is the script I am trying to use
#!/bin/bash -f
if test -f ~/Library/Preferences/SPACE.com/Pro/Registration\ File
then
open -a /Applications/Starry\ Night\ High\ School/Starry\ Night\ High\ School.app/
else
ditto /Library/Management/Preferences/StarryNight/SPACE.com ~/Library/Preferences/SPACE.com
open -a /Applications/Starry\ Night\ High\ School/Starry\ Night\ High\ School.app/
fi
exit 0

Well I found the problem. Or at least I got it to work. I tried typing simple commands and scripts into the Shell Script action and had no issues with it running. So I then slowly expanded and typed out my script:
#!/bin/bash -f
if test -f ~/Library/Preferences/SPACE.com/Pro/Registration\ File
then
open -a /Applications/Starry\ Night\ High\ School/Starry\ Night\ High\ School.app/
else
ditto /Library/Management/Preferences/StarryNight/SPACE.com ~/Library/Preferences/SPACE.com
open -a /Applications/Starry\ Night\ High\ School/Starry\ Night\ High\ School.app/
fi
exit 0
Having typed it out in the script it runs fine. It seems you can't paste text into the action. To test this hypothesis, I copied the working script out of automator into BBedit and then back into Automator, the script no longer worked. Not sure why that is happening, but it does work if I type the scripts out.

Run Shell Script action forgets which shell to use

My workflow uses a python shell script. However, each time I load the workflow the action goes back to using bash. If I save the workflow as an application it works correctly. Am I doing something wrong or should I submit a bug report?
I tried adding #!/usr/bin/python as a workaround to the start of the script but it didn't work. I'm using 10.4.6
2Ghz MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2GB RAM, Sony Artisan Monitor

I don't think that combo box actually has a direct binding to the parameters of the action. It's sole function appears to be that of dumping templates into an otherwise blank text area.
Edit Actually it does have a binding, but it's a value binding, not index. Hmm. Could be worthy of a bug report.

[SOLVED] advanced shell script for mount and unmount samba share

Good morning guys,
Today I've a very long question....
Hope in your help....:
I usually move from different network.
For one of those I need to mount some share that are under an ActiveDirectory server.
To do that I use samba.
Especially I've made and use the below shell script.
I know that it's so stupid but I'm a very newbie:
#!/bin/sh
echo "This is a custom script for mount my citrix share"
echo "Please insert user password (must a sudoer user)"
echo " "
sudo mount -t cifs -o username='myusername',password='mypassword' //host_ip/TsHome$/myusername /home/myuser/samba_share/TsHOME
sudo mount -t cifs -o username='myusername',password='mypassword' "//host_ip/direction" /home/myuser/samba_share/direction
echo " "
read -p "Press ENTER key to close this terminal"
exit
As I say the script work but it's so crude...!
I want/need to implement it whit the follow addictions:
1. print a feedback on mount: somenthing like "TsHOME is now mounted" or "unable to mount TsHOME"
2. check if the share are already mounted: to prevent accidentally multiple mount. If a share is already mounted I want to print something like "TsHOME is already mounted on /home/myuser/samba_share/TsHOME"
3. ask for share password (now it's in clear on script) - This is optinal
4. un-mount the share before reboot or shutdown command. That because I've notice that If i reboot or shutdown without manually un-mount the share the step of unmounting network file system became very slow
If it's no extremely difficult, can someone help me to write this script?
I know that man exist but I'm not a programmer and it's so difficult for me approch it.
Thank you in advance.
Ale

Thank you very (VERY) much!
I've follow your information and.. it work!
If can be usefull to other this is the complete script:
#!/bin/sh
echo "This is a custom script for mount citrix share"
echo "****************************************"
echo " "
echo "Please insert domain password:"
read -s mypassword
echo " "
echo "|checking mount state...in share are not mounted mount it!|"
echo "+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+"
if grep "TsHome" /etc/mtab &>/dev/null; then
grep "TsHome" /etc/mtab | awk '{print "TsHome is already mounted on " $2}'
else
sudo mount -t cifs -o username='yourusername',password="$mypassword" //ipaddress/TsHome$ /home/Samba_share/TsHOME && echo "TsHOME is now mounted" || echo "unable to mount TsHOME"
fi
echo " "
if grep "direction" /etc/mtab &>/dev/null; then
grep "direction" /etc/mtab | awk '{print "direction is already mounted on " $2}'
else
sudo mount -t cifs -o username='yourusername',password="$mypassword" '//ipaddress/direction' /home/Samba_share/direction' && echo "direction pat is now mounted" || echo "unable to mount direction"
fi
echo " "
if grep "Area" /etc/mtab &>/dev/null; then
grep "Area" /etc/mtab | awk '{print "Area is already mounted on " $2}'
else
sudo mount -t cifs -o username='yourusername',password="$mypassword" '//ipaddress/Area' /home/Samba_share/Area && echo "Area is now mounted" || echo "unable to mount Area"
fi
echo " "
echo "All DONE!"
echo " "
read -p "Press ENTER key to close this terminal"
exit
I don't really well understand what I've to put in rc.local.shutdown....
I think somethings like:
#!/bin/bash
# /etc/rc.local.shutdown: Local shutdown script.
echo "This is a custom script for UN-mount citrix share"
echo "********************************************"
echo " "
echo "|check mount state: if mount then un-mount!|"
echo "+-------------------------------------------------------+"
echo " "
if grep "TsHome" /etc/mtab &>/dev/null; then
grep "TsHome" /etc/mtab | awk '{print "TsHome is NOT mounted -> going on..." $2}'
else
sudo umount /home/Samba_share/TsHOME && echo "TsHOME is now UN mounted" || echo "unable to UN-mount TsHOME"
fi
echo " "
if grep "direction" /etc/mtab &>/dev/null; then
grep "direction" /etc/mtab | awk '{print "direction is NOT mounted -> going on.." $2}'
else
sudo umount /home/Samba_share/direction && echo "direction is now UN mounted" || echo "unable to UN-mount direction pat"
fi
echo " "
if grep "Area" /etc/mtab &>/dev/null; then
grep "Area" /etc/mtab | awk '{print "Area is NOT mounted - Finished" $2}'
else
sudo umount /home/Samba_share/Area && echo "Area is now UN mounted" || echo "unable to UN-mount Area"
fi
echo " "
echo "going shutdown"
echo " "
sleep 5
I've try but it seems to ignore the IF statement... this is the output when ALL share are UNmounted:
$ sh /etc/rc.local.shutdown
This is a custom script for UN-mount citrix share
|check mount state: if mount then un-mount!|
+-------------------------------------------------------+
umount: /home/Samba_share/TsHOME: not mounted
unable to UN-mount TsHOME
umount: /home/Samba_share/direction: not mounted
unable to UN-mount direction
umount: /home/Samba_share/Area: not mounted
unable to UN-mount Area
going shutdown
Tomorrow I will test again when I'm at office.
Meanwhile can you check if I made a macroscopic mistakes?
Thank you again!
