I want to execute unix commands remotely from Java program.
I am using below code,
String cmd = "rexec <IP address given> -l <QM name given> date";
Process FindConns = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(FindConns.getInputStream()));
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
There are no errors reported.But I am not getting any output results.
Not sure where I am missing here...I have tried various options but ended in vain...
Please help with the correct code to execute unix commands remotely in java program.. |

| There's probably additional streams that FindConns has available, not just the InputStream (which would be the one I would expect you would *write* data to, not read data from, but that's just me). |

Thanks Jeff for your response...
I am new to Java coding...I browsed a lot to find out an option.But could not get one.
As you have given some hint,could you please explain more so that I could try..?I could not get clear idea still on what option I could try..

| I'm sure the javadocs would be much more helpful than I could be. |

I have tried various options..But still no luck...
I tried jsch.But I am getting 'Foriegn host closed connection error' while executing below code,
Session session=jsch.getSession(user, host, 1415);
session.connect();
I am not getting any clue on this  ...Please explain if someone has idea on this .. |

It might also help if you can explain what you are trying to do.
There is more than one way to skin a cat, and maybe the way you chose is not the most optimal.

Thank you so much...
The requirement to me is ,I need to perform health check of Unix servers (df -k ,netstat) for their filesystem and the TCP connectivity to other clients automatically.So,I have a java program in windows system which does lot of other stuffs also like Queue monitoring.In this java program I am implementing the below code as well to connect to Unix machines remotely from Windows and execute certain unix commands.
During this session connect phase,I am getting errors lik 'Foreign host closed connection'.For Queue monitoring I didnt face any problem.So,I beleive there is no firewall or network issues.
Here is the program,
import com.jcraft.jsch.*;
import java.io.*;
public class MonitoringJava{
public static void main(String[] arg){
try{
JSch jsch=new JSch();
String host=null;
if(arg.length>0){
host=arg[0];
}
else{
host="userid@hostname"; // username and ipaddress for machine is given
}
String user=host.substring(0, host.indexOf('@'));
host=host.substring(host.indexOf('@')+1);
Session session=jsch.getSession(user, host, <port number given>);
// username and password will be given via UserInfo interface.
UserInfo ui=new MyUserInfo();
session.setUserInfo(ui);
session.connect();
String command= "grep 'INFO' filepath"; // enter any command you need to execute
Channel channel=session.openChannel("exec");
((ChannelExec)channel).setCommand(command);
channel.setInputStream(null);
((ChannelExec)channel).setErrStream(System.err);
InputStream in=channel.getInputStream();
channel.connect();
byte[] tmp=new byte[1024];
while(true){
while(in.available()>0){
int i=in.read(tmp, 0, 1024);
if(i<0)break;
System.out.print(new String(tmp, 0, i));
}
if(channel.isClosed()){
System.out.println("exit-status: "+channel.getExitStatus());
break;
}
try{Thread.sleep(1000);}catch(Exception ee){}
}
channel.disconnect();
session.disconnect();
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.print(e.getMessage());
}
}
public static class MyUserInfo implements UserInfo{
public String getPassword(){ return passwd; }
public boolean promptYesNo(String str){
str = "Yes";
return true;}
String passwd;
public String getPassphrase(){ return null; }
public boolean promptPassphrase(String message){ return true; }
public boolean promptPassword(String message){
passwd="password"; // enter the password for the machine you want to connect.
return true;
}
public void showMessage(String message){
}
}
} |

This is the complete error message,
com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: connection is closed by foreign host
at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:248)
at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:162)
at MonitoringJava.main(MonitoringJava.java:24) |

| That means the remote side closed your connection. |

BAD assumption. You are not dealing with the same ports. Firewalls can distinguish between ports and the combination host + port needs to be tested.

I don't think initializing the inputstream by setting it to null is doing what you expect it to do...
What is your getInputStream method returning? a null value?
Have fun
