Running msys.bat using ProcessBuilder - java

I am attempting to run msys.bat in java using ProcessBuilder. When I run the .bat file with my program, the following error occurred: "Cannot find the rxvt.exe or sh.exe binary -- aborting. Press any key to continue . . ."
Here is the code,
ProcessBuilder Msys = new ProcessBuilder("C:/msys/1.0/msys.bat", "/C", "find \"C:/Users/Dan G/Desktop/hello.elf\"");
Process p = Msys.start();
String line;
BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
r.close();
The goal is to compile some C projects of mine. The command up there is just to test for a result, not what I want to accomplish.
Thanks for the help!

.bat files can't run on their own and are called on the Windows command processor. So don't forget to load the Windows command processor too, cmd.exe before your bat file.
ProcessBuilder Msys = new ProcessBuilder("cmd.exe", "C:/msys/1.0/msys.bat",
"/C", "find \"C:/Users/Dan G/Desktop/hello.elf\"");
Edit
Please check out this useful article for tips and traps that occur with this process: when runtime.exec() won't. The code in the article is a bit dated, but the concepts are just as germane today as they were then. It is highly recommended.

Having a hard time with linux command calls in Java with exec()

I'm trying to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() to call a program as if it was called from the terminal, but it just crashes with a fatal error after reading the first file.
In the terminal I run the command like so:
mace4 -c -f inputFile.in > outputFile.out
It works as expected, reading from the first file and outputting in the second one.
In Java I try to run it this way:
String args[] = new String[]{"mace4", "-c", "-f", inputFileName ,">",outputFileName};
try {
String s;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args, null, new File("/home/user/workDirectory/"));
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream()));
while ((s = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("line: " + s);
proc.waitFor();
proc.destroy();
As soon as the program reaches the end of the first file, it throws this:
Fatal error: read_all_input, file > not found
The program is quite old and I can't seem to find a way to get a more detailed error out of it..
I tried calling it with these arguments {"sh or bash", "-c", "mace4", "-c", "-f", inputFileName ,">",outputFileName} which makes the program run and then freeze (or at least nothing appears in the console)..
Am I calling the terminal command wrong and if yes what should I change?
PS: this is my first question here, if I missed anything, I'm sorry..
It looks like you're trying to use the Bash output redirection operator >. This redirects the output of the program you're running to a file (or another program)
This answer explains how to do this using ProcessBuilder which should work for what you're trying to do here.
For example:
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("mace4", "-c", "-f", inputFileName);
pb.redirectOutput(new File(outputFileName));
Process p = pb.start();

Command executed from terminal, failed from Java using ProcessBuilder

I'm trying to execute a command in my terminal. The problem is, when I execute the command in terminal, it succeed, but when I run the command from java, the command is executed but, I got an error message showing me that some python module is missing.
try{
String[] list = { "python3", "script.py" };
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(list);
pb.directory(
new File("/home/script"));
System.out.println("" + pb.directory());
Process process = pb.start();
InputStream str = process.getErrorStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(str);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line;
System.out.printf("Output of running %s is:", Arrays.toString(args));
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);}
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
String ret = in.readLine();
System.out.println("value is : "+ret);
process.waitFor();
process.destroy();
}catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
The error message:
/home/script
Output of running [] is:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scraper.py", line 8, in <module>
from selenium import webdriver
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium'
value is : null
PS: When I execute the command directly from terminal, everything works good, I don't get the missing module error.
Similar to Java, python allows to import other stuff. That message tells you that your python script wants to use the module selenium, but can't find it.
Most likely you have some special ENV var setup when running commands manually in a shell/console. So check your .bashrc or .initrc or whatever defines your ENV variables. On a unix system, typing the command env might show you all settings, too. Simply check if the env var PYTHONPATH is setup.
As that call works from the command line, then for sure, the module is installed on your system. Your only problem is that python can't find it when you invoke that script through the Java ProcessBuilder!
One solution might be that you "manually" adjust the PYTHONPATH from within your script. Thus: figure the correct setup for PYTHONPATH, then update your script to "do the right thing".
For further details, see the python documentation!

run a .sh file using java

I want to run a .sh file using java. I want a terminal to be opened and then I can execute another commands in the same terminal and finally destroy it.
I already used ProcessBuilder but I could not accomplish this.
My piece of code:
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("/home/omar/ros_ws/baxter2.sh");
Process p = pb.start();
This method used to work in another code, but I don't know why it's not working in mine.
Thanks in advance
How do you know that it doesn't execute? Maybe you just aren't seeing its result. You should get p.getInputStream() after executing and print in your console, like:
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println(line);
}
Also if you're using jdk 7+, try:
pb.redirectOutput(Redirect.INHERIT);
pb.redirectError(Redirect.INHERIT);
Process p = pb.start();
Does your program output an error, or is your program not interacting with the file?
I would suggest trying the directory method within ProcessBuilder.
Process p = null;
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("baxter2.sh");
pb.directory("/home/omar/ros_ws");
p = pb.start();
If this doesn't work, you should also look into user permissions for the file that you're trying to access.
I think you should grant the .sh file the executable permission to the OS user used to run the java program by using the below command.
chmod u+x baxter2.sh

Java getting error while executing Adb Commands using process builder

When Executing following line I am getting response error=> segmentation fault
String[] commands = {"cmd.exe","/c","adb shell","su","cd /data/app","ls com.mypack*"};
StringBuilder cmdReturnRsp = new StringBuilder();
try {
ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(commands);
processBuilder.directory(fileADb);
Process process = processBuilder.start();
InputStream inputStream = process.getInputStream();
int c;
while ((c = inputStream.read()) != -1) {
cmdReturnRsp.append((char) c);
}
System.out.println("responce = "+ cmdReturnRsp);
}catch(Exception e){
}
but when above lines run in cmd prompt it is working fine, so How can make code work same as cmd
You have missunderstanding of process builder. I seems that you think that it works as a kind of script. This is wrong. Process builder just builds correct command line and executes it.
So, you can run cmd.exe, you can run cmd.exe /c adb shell, but I doubt you can run the rest of commands.
Take a look on description of adb. If it supports mode similar to cmd /c, i.e. gets commands in command line and then executes it you can probably do this.
BTW, why do you want to do this?
Check if device is rooted, usually when device is not rooted, It does not work.
/c is not understood I guess.
It should be cd c:/

Getting error in calling shell script in windows environment using java code and cygwin...!

I want to call shell script on windows environment using java code.
I am trying to execute code below to run my test script(not actual script):
Java Code:
public static void main (String args[]) {
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
Process p = r.exec("C:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash -c '/cygdrive/d/scripts/test.sh'");
InputStream in = p.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
System.out.println("OUT:");
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
in = p.getErrorStream();
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
System.out.println("ERR:");
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
p.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
test.sh
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf ./test
But I am getting these error and script in not able to remove the directory.
ERR:
/cygdrive/d/ereader/scripts/test.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found
/cygdrive/d/ereader/scripts/test.sh: line 3: rm: command not found
Another thing, when I run the script from the cygwin terminal it works fine. I checked the path variable they all are fine. But I try to execute same script through java code it gives error..
Now how to tell java program where to refer for rm commands?
The giveaway is the '\r' error.
Windows and Unix (which includes Mac and Linux) use different representations of a new line. Windows uses '\r\n' while Unix simply uses '\n'. Most programming editors account for this and only insert a '\n' so they work with Unix tools.
I would suggest retyping your shell script in another editor like Notepad++ (which only inserts '\n'), or make sure your current editor is set to use Unix newlines. You have to retype it or the bad '\r\n' sequences will get copied over. You might have some luck in doing a replace-all but that always acts flaky for me.
probably you will need to set the PATH variable first thing in the test.sh script. Make sure rm is in the PATH you set
Not really answer. You could try following to narrow down the problem
Use ProcessBuilder instead of Process. It is much more friendly to handle arguments.
Set absolute path to rm (/bin/rm ) in the script
remove using absolute path to directory or remove after verifying you are in the correct directory..
The bash prompt you have is result of cygwin.bat calling bash with --login. It will have path variables and other usesul stuff sources. bash -c does not do it.
Try launching bash.exe with bash -l -c <command> : This sources the bash profile.
