Trigger batch file in windows from java deployed in linux - java

I am creating a batch file from Java which is deployed in a Linux machine and moved from Linux to Windows using Samba.
We want the batch file to be triggered from Java. Can you please highlight some steps?
I cannot use below command as it will use Linux run time:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start buildFile.bat");
Any suggestions?

You can execute processes from Java on Linux as described here. The process is executed from the operationg system and depends on the operating system. You could rewrite your buildFile.bat as a linux shell script on execute it from you Java program.

I created Batch file in Windows using Samba from Linux machine and let windows scheduler handle running batch file.
Problem solved :)

Execute script os dependent from java code

I'm developing a java application. I need to call an user script in some point of my app, Since my app can be executed on windows, linux and osx I'd like to start a script in os independent way if possible. Currently I use this on windows for bat file:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start user.bat");
But on Linux I should do:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "/bin/sh", "-c", "user.sh" });
I can check the OS where the application is running, but I'm wondering if there is an alternative way.
Write the command in a config file, and read that file from your program. Make different config files for each operating system. When you distribute your program, include the config file for the target operating system.
Once a program requires things that depend on the host operating system, there are no good solutions.

How can I run batch script from linux on windows servers using nmap?

I'm trying to run batch scripts from linux on a windows machine
I heard the nmap has a solution but I can't get an example
Is it possible? How?
Noam
Nmap (a network scanning tool) is not for running Unix/Linux scripts on Windows. On Linux, the usual shell is bash. If you want to run bash scripts on Windows, you might use cygwin, you might try Windows Services for Unix or even win-bash.

Executing windows batch script on Jenkins

I am building a project using Maven and using Jenkins for continuos integration. After the maven build i am getting an executable jar in my target folder which i am trying to run using a windows batch command as build step. But when i put the command in the box under execute windows batch command i get the following error
"cmd /c call /tmp/hudson2033384960131825453.bat FATAL: command
execution failed java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "cmd" (in
directory "/hosting/workspace/myProject"): error=2, No such file or
directory""
I am using mac OSX 10.9.3. The jenkins is deployed in a remote server which i don't have access to.
I want to execute this jar file as a build process. How can i do it?
You should not be expecting a windows batch command to be able to run on a mac. Jenkins is pretty cool, I agree, but it isn't magical.
Also, yes, it is a little confusing that the option is available to you even though you are on a Mac, but its there incase you have a linux / mac master with windows slave: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-17010?page=com.atlassian.streams.streams-jira-plugin:activity-stream-issue-tab
You cannot execute a windows batch command on mac or linux, end of story.
You are trying to launch windows command through jenkins on another operating system which is not going to work

Running a JAVA program as a scheduled task

I am trying to run a simple JAVA program once per day on a Windows 7 machine.
My code runs fine inside NetBeans. If I do a clean and build it suggests this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0/bin/java -jar "C:\Users\User1\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Facebook\dist\Facebook.jar"
This does not work from the DOS prompt of course because of the space between program and files so I do this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0/bin/java -jar "C:\Users\User1\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Facebook\dist\Facebook.jar" -jar "C:\Users\User1\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Facebook\dist\Facebook.jar"
This works from the DOS prompt.
I now create a task in Windows Scheduler to run:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0/bin/java
with arguments:
-jar "C:\Users\User1\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Facebook\dist\Facebook.jar"
When I then run it, all I see is a DOS box flashing up for a second. I expect the code to take about 30 secs to run. The code should persist data to a database and no updates happen.
The code also uses java.util.logging so I should see log entries and I don't.
I strongly suspect that I am not running the JAVA command properly or that there's a bad classpath issue that it present when running via Scheduler that isn't there when running from the DOS prompt.
Help would be appreciated. If you've seen this before and can sort it that would be great. If you can tell me how to get a meaningful error trace from Scheduler than that would also be really helpful.
Thanks!
I Think that you could create a simple batch script that will launch your program in this way :
#echo off
REM Eventually change directory to the program directory
cd C:\Users\User1\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Facebook\dist\
REM run the program
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\java.exe" -jar "C:\Users\User1\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Facebook\dist\Facebook.jar"
Copy it into the notepad and save as java_script.cmd and then schedule this script instead of the program directly.
I solved it after changing all fonts' references to "SansSerif"
I was using Jasper Reports inside Java to create a PDF file. It was working fine when I double click the batch file or Scheduler with Windows Server 2003 but not working with the Scheduler of 2008.
I tried many different things nothing worked so I though Could it be that Windows Server 2008 is blocking the access?.
Now is working perfect. So, if you are having problems check the references to anything you are using.
The scheduler will run under a different user unless you specify what user to run as. If it isn't running as your user then it won't be able to write to your directories.
The real problem to the original question is a java installation issue on Microsoft systems. Java jre installs into Program Files\java. The executable (java.exe) is only installed in that java\bin directory. Running from the command line, the os looks in the proper location for the java.exe. Running from other MS tools (such as VBA Excel or in this case TaskScheduler), it does not!
You can see that TaskScheduler is looking in the wrong place by viewing the tasks history in the TaskScheduler tool. Double click on some of the history events and one will list the action and return code. The action will show that the TaskScheduler is trying to run
"C:\Windows\system32\java.EXE"
So, copy java.exe from the java\bin directory into the place where the scheduler is looking, and now it will work.
Or update your task and provide the full path to java.exe.
You can also update the environment system path to look for java in the java\bin directory, but that has to apply to all users and sometimes this is faulty as well.

adding a java application to system configuration start up menu

I am creating a desktop application. I know how to add program to system tray, that consists of a continuous system process, I need instructions on how to add java code to system configuration startup menu. Like antivirus program which automatically executes on starting the system. would be of great help with example code
Write a batch file(.bat) which executes you java program. Add this batch file into the registry in such a way that it will be executed during system startup.
simply write following into your batch file
java filename
In linux you will hv to create a .sh script(executable) that will execute your java program.
put .sh in /etc/rc0.d using following commands
cp name.sh /etc/rc0.d/
chmod +x /etc/rc0.d/name.sh
